Xposed framework for ARM SDK 23 (NOTE: Grab both the xposed23.zip and XposedInstaller****.apk)
XPosed is OPTIONAL, but there are a lot of rooted apps that use the XPosed framework to get more control over your phone. Such as hiding mock locations for example.
NOTE: Internet is REQUIRED for KingRoot to function (grants temporary root, so ADP commands can be executed to unlock bootloader), at one point WiFi will NOT function but internet is still required. So a valid SIM with internet is required (Verizon will definitely work, others might[/] work)
NOTE: The entire installation will take an estimated 1-2 hours. (Not including time spent downloading) All steps are MANDATORY, do not SKIP anything....You've been warned
Install eMMC Brickbug Check (free) on your phone, and RUN IT. Your CID MUST start with 15. If it doesn't I can't help you, and this guide is not for you.
Install the Samsung USB drivers on your windows PC
Backup your phone, if you don't know how.....google it...And learn how, you will want to backup frequently. Every time you get to a point you can boot up into Android, backup...it's safer for you...I will not remind you again, this is on your head.
Disable Encryption on your phone, both the SD card and Device
Disable Samsung Phone Lockout. YOU MUST DO THIS OR ELSE!!!! (Settings > Security > Reactivation Lock)
Do 2 factory resets on your phone, one after another (hold volume up, home button, power when starting to enter recovery mode where you can reset phone). Not required but if you don't, you'll spend an extra hour or two doing this because Kingroot will crash/fail more often.
Boot up your phone in Download Mode (hold volume down, home button, power)
Open Odin3, Click the AP button and select the file N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVZW2BPA1_VZW.tar.md5, once it checks it, goto options and make sure the Re-Partition is NOT selected. Now click start to flash and downgrade to Android 5.1.1.
Turn on your phone, and let it boot up.
Skip everything possible when setting up your phone. Don't even put in a google account, not necessary
Goto Setings and set the following
Settings > Security > Reactivation Lock = Disabled (EXTREMELY IMPORTANT, VERIFY)
Settings > Security > Unkown Sources = Enabled
Settings > Developer Options > USB debugging = Enabled
Developer options are unlocked by going to Settings > About Phone. Find "Build Number", and start clicking it till you get a message that Developer Options have been unlocked (about 10 clicks I believe, never counted).
Settings > Developer Options > Verify App via USB = Enabled (should be by default, CHECK)
Settings > Lock Screen = None
Settings > Display > Turn off Display = 10 Minutes
Plug your phone into your computer via USB, copy the NewKingroot****.apk to your download directory (samsung-sm-N910V\Phone\Download)
Install ADB onto your Windows PC. Select an easy directory such as c:\ADB
Copy the following file directly into the ADB directory
samsung_unlock_n4-fix
Open up command line interface. Hold windows key & press R key for run, type in "cmd" press enter. Will open a terminal window for you. Type the following commands:
cd\
cd adb (or whatever you named your directory where you installed ADB)
adb devices
This should return a list of devices you have connected, something like:
Code:
List of devices attached
SerialNum device
If no devices are displayed, check you have the Samsung USB drivers installed properly.
Type the following command
adb push samsung_unlock_n4-fix /data/local/tmp/
Got an error? check your spelling (or copy/paste from me), check you put the file into the ADB directory (not just a link), your phone must be on and screen not locked and check you have usb debugging enabled.
BTW: Do NOT CLOSE the window unless I instruct you to!
Install Kingroot on your phone, which you previously moved into your downloads folder, you can find it via My Files app that comes with phone.
Now run KingRoot. Flip down to the bottom and click "Try It", it will run some quick test then give you a button to try to root your phone.
Wait...Wait...Do not worry if your phone restarts, it will go back into KingRoot automatically on reboot. Just sit back and wait, it may fail multiple times and you may have to re-run Kingroot. Just keep trying . Once it succeeds you must do the following IMMEDIATELY AND AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. Kingroot is HIGHLY UNSTABLE.
On the windows PC, back in the command window you left open. Start Typing.
adb shell
su
cd /data/local/tmp/
chmod 777 samsung_unlock_n4-fix
chown root.root samsung_unlock_n4-fix
./samsung_unlock_n4-fix
After the last command it may prompt you to type yes, do so immediately. it won't write on the screen but type yes anyway for it to continue. Once it's done it should automatically start to reboot your phone. Unplug it and pull the battery, wait 5 seconds, put battery back in and plug the phone back in.
This was the initial setup for unlocking your bootloader, you now have to run it AGAIN so turn your phone back on. Repeat steps 22-24, after the 2nd time PULL OUT YOUR SD CARD BEFORE TURNING ON YOUR PHONE
Congratulations you now have an unlocked bootloader, you can close the command window on your PC.
The SD card has a restore point for your phone prior to removing your bootlock. Save it if you want, or plug into your phone and format the 18mb partition you are able to. You must format it on a PC before you can use it again in a phone!!!! Will shut your phone off immediately if you put the SD in without formatting that 18mb partition.
Now reboot your phone into download mode (hold volume down, home and power buttons when turning on)
Open Odin App on your PC, Click the "AP" button and select the file twrp-3.0.2-0-trltevzw.tar.md5 (which you downloaded earlier). Once it does it's check, verify that re-partition is NOT selected in options. Now click start to flash twrp bootloader.
Your phone will restart, re-enter download mode. If you missed it pull cable/battery and try again.
Now extract and flash N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVRU2CPD1_FullFirmware.tar.md5 via Odin, same as you did with twrp. VERIFY THAT RE-PARTITION IS NOT SELECTED IN OPTIONS.
Boot up in recovery mode (hold volume up, home and power when turning on) (note: no longer TWRP since you flashed firmware, will look different again)
"Wipe data/factory reset ", then reboot your phone.
Now repeat steps 9-12 (NewKingRoot should still be in your downloads, but verify anyway) (NOTICE: wifi will NOT work with the CPD1 firmware, but Verizon internet should in case you need internet for some reason, wifi will restore later in guide - Other internet from other providers MIGHT work with proper APN settings)
Install a clean SD card into the phone.
Now repeat steps 15-25. This time you should only need to run the samsung_unlock_n4-fix file once to break your boot. This is what it typically says on successful bootloader unlock: (if you got this message, pull the battery, cable and SD card.)

[+] dev CID matching, proceeding to unlock
[+] backing up loaders, this will take a few minutes
[+] loaders successfully backed up
[+] success! powering off device, hopefully its not bricked!
Now boot back into download mode
Flash TWRP via Odin again (I'm summarizing greatly now, as you should by now understand this kind of shorthand)
Ok, now boot up into TWRP recovery mode (vol up, home, power)
Navigate through TWRP menus to create a Backup. Click Backup Button, and swipe to create backup. (this is just so that it creates the directory structure on your phone)
Click the Reboot System button, skip all the setup you can again. (DO NOT INSTALL SUPERSU!!! will cause bootloop)
Extract the "JasmineROM_v7.0_N910VVRU2CPF3.7z" file it will create a directory called "JasmineROM_v7.0_N910VVRU2CPF3".
Plug USB into phone and to computer. Copy the JasmineROM_v7.0_N910VVRU2CPF3 folder into \Internal storage\TWRP\BACKUPS\Phone SN\
Reboot into TWRP recovery
Click the Restore button (DONT start the restore yet!!!), and check that your JasmineROM is listed as a recovery option. (don't recover YET) If it's not there you copied it into the wrong directy, try again before proceeding.
Go back to the main menu, Click the Wipe button. Click the 'Advanced Wipe' button, and wipe the following cache/dalvik/system/data
Go back to Restore (from 2 steps ago) and run the JasmineROM_v7.0_N910VVRU2CPF3 recovery, return to main menu afterwards
Go to wipe, and wipe the cache/dalvik only this time.
Reboot into download mode
Flash the N910VVRU2CPF3_PartialFirmware_PatechedKernel.tar.m d5.7z file via Odin
Reboot the system, this will take a LONG TIME. WAIT for it. (if reboot takes >10 min, pull battery and restart)
Once it boots up, skip all the setup again. Copy the CM13, Gapps and XPosed (both zip and apk) to your downloads. Don't unzip anything, not necessary.
Now reboot into recovery go to WIPE and do a factory reset by swiping.
Then goto Install (still in recovery) and install CM13, then Install Gapps.
Reboot your phone, this time you are setting up properly reboot will take a while to optimize your apps depending on Gapps version used. So do all your setup as you want your phone setup. Once that's done, restart the phone in recovery. (if reboot takes > 5 min, pull battery and restart)
Install via TWRP the XPossed.zip file.
Reboot your phone, once on. Navigate via My Files, to downloads and install XPosed.apk
CONGRATULATIONS. You now have a fully Unlocked, Rooted Note 4 Verizon with CryanogenMod 13.0 installed and XPosed Installed.
Suggested Apps
Kernel Auditor [ROOT], will allow you to adjust kernel settings. Such as CPU clock speeds and thermal throttling, if your phone is too hot.
Note: About ROOT[/], you will have root once you finish this guide. But it is disabled by default, you can enable root in developer options (no reboot required when changing). Unlock your developer options again, and scroll down you will see an option to enable/disable root. This allows you to keep turn off during normal use, and only enable it when you need to install an app that requires root. You can always just leave it on all the time, that is your choice.
Note: Some apps on Google PlayStore will become unavailable due to incompatibility (according to google, HA). Such as YouTube Music, you will no longer be able to install it through the store. But you can install it by using an APK site, such as APK Downloader. On this site you find the app you want on play.google.com, copy the HTTP link and put it into the APK Downloader and it will generate a direct download link to the APK file. Copy onto your phone and sideload (ie. install) through file explorer. I don't endorse them, they are just one of many places you can get APK files.

How far are you now?
And let me know when you finish, critique my guide. If parts weren't clear enough let me know.
And finally if you run into any issues let me know.

Great guide (I honestly haven't read it, it's too long but it looks thorough, and I know you were annoyed with the tedious process), glad I was able to help you figure things out!

You know it wasn't so much that it annoyed me it's that there was no concrete guide telling me what to do. It's a thread here, a post there to do a specific thing but they aren't coordinated in a logical way for users to easily find.

Alright ignore what I said before this edit, I just skipped a step.
I must say though, steps 41-43 are very confusing. What is the ROM folder?

The ROM folder I'm referring too is the folder inside the Jasmine zip file. I only reference it so people wouldn't try to take just the files inside the folder which is inside the zip file. Lol yea that's confusing....I'll think about how to rewrite those and make adjustments in a couple hours to make it clearer.
But basically when you extract the Jasmine zip file it creates a folder with files in it. Copy the whole folder not just the files to where it makes your recovery folders.

Okay, awesome. Also I think the TWRP part could be explained a little clearer.
Other than that, 100%
oh also, at the start I would say to read the entire thing before starting, and give a warning that downloads will take like 4 hrs

Lol yea, didn't think to mention reading the whole thing first. To me that's a given I always read everything before starting. I'll add a note to read everything.
As to download time, well it is like what 12 gigs in total? Basically 4 full versions of the Android OS at 2 gigs reach plus all the extras.
I'll try to see if I can't explain the twrp recovery of Jasmine better. Only reason you need to do Jasmine is for the 6.0.1 device drivers (such as modem).

I've modified the guide appropriately, to resolve all of the issues (I think) you mentioned. And to make some steps easier to understand and follow.
I also added a recommended app on the bottom, and mentioned a site you can use to get PlayStore apps which will now list as incompatible with our phones.
Finally, question: Did you succeed using this Guide? Just curious if everything is working as expected after following my guide. I wrote the thing from memory, after spending 3 days rooting my phone and figuring everything out from various sources. Hopefully this saves people some time where they don't have to piece a dozen sources together to figure out how to do it. I only mentioned the main 4 I referenced, but there were other lessons learned from various places that aren't covered in those posts.

I was quite successful with the root. Even though I messed up a few times (skipping steps), it all works out and now it's working lovely. It only took an hour of actual work, plus a lot of download time because of slow hosts.
Thanks so much for the guide, the only issue was with the slow hosts, and that's hardly your fault. I do wonder if maybe setting up a torrent of the heavier files might help though.
Edit: I will say, this is a wonderfully tedious root effort.

An hour..........I spent 2 hours watching kingroot try and root my damb phone, LOL because I didn't wipe before trying to get temporary root the first time you use it (before I read in a post that wiping twice will make it MUCH more successful). Took me 10+ hours of actual work to get my phone rooted and CM 13.0 setup, because I didn't have steps to follow, LMAO. Made it up as I went.
As to the Torrent, I'd be the only one sharing and my upload speeds are not that great. maybe 500 kbps, I live in a rural area. At least my download speed is 40 mbps.
And it is hellofa tedious root for the Note 4, I haven't seen any other phone as crazy tedious to root.
Edit: Mind if I add a 'success story' section and add you to it?

Oh of course, go ahead and add me.
Also, if you do end up making a torrent, i'd be happy to help seed at least for a while. I have pretty good upload and no data caps or anything so it would probably help a bit (anything is faster than that 100 kbps that xda was giving)

You called N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVZW2BPA1_VZW.zip, "N910VVRU2BPA1 Full Firmware". Which kinda got me confused, (maybe its just me trying to do this at 1 am >_>) but might want to edit that. Other then that Iv'e had a pretty easy time following this guide. Thanks! (still doing it fyi, I got an infinite bootloop, so figured I messed up somewhere after reflashing TWRP, now im starting from scratch.)

I have a Very weird problem , I followed your instructions correctly i was on step 25 did exactly what you said pulled the unpluged the USB and pulled the battery and and waited 5 seconds and put the battery back in and rebooted the phone only problem is now it is stuck in a boot loop of the image Samsung galaxy note 4 and just keeps rebooting . I haved tryed doing a factory reset and wiping cache and reinstalling 5.1..1 via odin and it is still doing the boot loop i am not sure what i did wrong or what to do . I know its not hard brick because i can get into recovery and download but just wont boot the past the Samsung not 4 logo

Was this after the first time you inputted the adb commands our second? Make sure you pull the SD card after the second time, as it will cause reboots after the second time until you reformat the SD card on your PC. Size will be wrong on PC but size will fix when you reformat the SD card a second time on your phone.
Edit it creates like 20 partitions on the ad card when you do adb, it creates a backup of your phone os.

Dummy's Guide to update your I9000 from the stock software to the Official Froyo

After successfully;
researching, upgrading to the official build of my choosing, getting it to work and typing this tutorial out (for those that like me weren't knowledged in this),
I stumbled across this thread. I thought I should also share it here aswell.
Here's a N00b's (Dummy's) Guide to how to update your device from the stock software to the Official Samsung Froyo ROM (software/operating system) OF YOUR CHOICE!!
Why do this?
You get Froyo. So you get the latest version of Android to support more Apps.
It comes with some UI-tweeks, JIT-compiler, and FLASH 10.1 PLAYER!!!
Also you get a newer (better) kernel on your phone with some of Samsung's fixes for the lag and for the GPS.
You can get features/Apps not available in your native rom build and/or remove the bloatware.
This method (not incl E) can also be used to install custom ROMs (I personally can't wait for the Official English MIUI ROM).
** Denotes steps which I skipped, or was unable/unwilling to follow, or didn't quite understand
Here's the comprehensive, step-by-step, easy-to-follow breakdown/walkthrough (Section E only works on Windows Computers):
A) Remove your microSD card (this will prevent some weid issues later on)
A2) Make sure you have Kies downloaded and installed on your computer
A3) Make sure you have an extractor installed (for Windows 7, winRAR is a great free solution)
B) We need to root your device, for this goto "One Click Root/Unroot" by TGA_Gunnman at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742403
B1) Download (2.5MB) the software (depending on your computer, mine is Win7 Home Premium 64-bit) into your computer not phone
B2) Make a folder somewhere in your computer labelled "OneClickRoot" (or anything) and drag the .rar file (the one you just downloaded) into it
B3) Extract the contents of the files by Right-Click then "Extract Here" (If you don't have this option install WinRAR)
B4) Set your phone to USB Debug mode (on your phone goto MENU > Settings > Applications > Developement > USB debugging = Checked) and then connect the phone to the computer via USB cable.
B5) Open the "Galaxy S I9000 One-Click Root" application. (This step didn't work for me, so I instead opened "rootme" batchfile which started the command prompt).
B6) Your phone will shut itself off, and then turn on in a "recovery mode". DO NOT REMOVE THE CABLE. Use the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons to get to "install from " and then hit the Home button.
B7) Now your device should be restarting again but this time it will actually go to your lockscreen.
B8) Now, you have ROOT, Congratulations.
B9) Not sure? We can test to see if you have root. Goto Market on your phone and download two Apps (Superuser and Titanium Backup, use the search to find them fast).
B10) Install both and launch Titanium Backup. As soon as you turn it on it will come up with a pop up and say something like "Your device is not rooted" or "Root is not accessible" ... if you didn't get Root.
B11) If you have root it will say something like "Titanium Backup needs to gain permission from Superuser" here click Apply. If you get to the App, well done you have indeed Rooted your phone
C) Now if you want to Backup your device before the update (recommended) you can follow steps C, otherwise skip straight to Step D.
C1) On Titanium Backup if a pop up notification comes with something like "Download an updated BusyBox" allow it to do so.
C2) Now first thing you will want to backup your Apps (all paid and free and the levels/hiscores) make sure you don't have any emulator ROMs on there (they consume too much space) and delete all those unwanted Apps
C3) On Titanium Backup, hit the Menu button > More > Create "update.zip" ...
C4) On this screen select "User application" and "TitaniumBackup-3.6.2.zip" and UN-TICK the "Sign the ZIP file (with ZipSigner)"
C5) Hit the Create "update.zip"... on the bottom and Please wait
C6) Once it finishes it, exit Titanium Backup, go back to settings and disable USB debugging (as posted on B4).
C7) Connect your phone to your computer (through Kies or PC link) and then browse your My Computer until you find Galaxy S I9000.
C8) Open that folder and then open phone. Find "TitaniumBackup-3.6.2.zip" and copy that to somewhere on your computer.
C9) Now that we have backed up your applications, lets backup your ROM.
C10) According to TGA_Gunnman you can use Clockwork MOD Recovery to do this, but this is for a different (Galaxy S) device ie "Samsung Vibrant"
**C11) Follow the steps on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734164 to do so, personally I skipped doing so out of fear of bricking the device (there may be subtle differences between the devices that can make your phone a paperweight/brick)
C12) Now if you did follow the Clockwork MOD, be sure to copy the "update.zip" file somewhere into your computer (better be safe than sorry)
D1) Now we need to apply the 3-Button-Combo Fix (this is the only reason for steps A-C because it is highly recommended to have this before flashing ANY rom)
D2) I recommend the Fix by RazvanG http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821698 because it seems to be the *safest*
**D3) Firstly check if your device is compatible. I wasn't successful to dump my BML1 block, so I couldn't test if the block reads "[email protected]"
**D3) RazvanG has provided some instructions on this method see his post for more information http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9595936#post9595936
D4) So I took a leap of faith and continued anyways with the risk of bricking my device. I have it on contract/plan so if it fails I would just return it and say Kies was updating and it failed
D5) I followed the steps on the thread but I'll reitterate it here for your convnieance
D6) Download both files (RAZ-FiX-SGS and adbRecovery) from the thread.
D7) Make a new folder (adbRecovery) on your computer and extract the adb .zip file into there
D8) Connect your phone to the computer and copy the RAZ-FiX-SGS.zip into your phone's memory
D9) Delete the old Update.zip file AND rename the RAZ-FiX-SGS.zip to Update.zip
D10) Again, turn on USB debugging (you know how) and open "Recovery" batch file from your computer
D11) This will initiate a command prompt (on Win7) and restart your phone
D12) Your phone will go into recovery mode (like we've seen before)
D13) You need to navigate (Volume buttons) to "apply sdcard; update.zip" and hit the Home button
D14) Your phone will turn off and restart and should get to your lockscreen
D15) So you're at the lockscreen? SUCCESS! (mine didn't brick *pheww*)
D16) Now let's test to see if the 3-Button-Fix worked
D17) *IMPORTANT* Firstly browse into your phone's internal memory and delete update.zip (the one we put there from RazvanG)
D18) Now that you have done so, you can safely just turn off the device
D19) Hold the Volume Down + Home button ... then hold the power button, as soon as the device begins to turn on release the power button (keep holding Volume Down + Home)
D20) If you get a Yellow triangle with the Android robot and "Do not turn off Target", well done, you have the 3BF so you have a means to ensure that you can always recover your phone if you do brick, well done!
D21) You can *safely* remove the battery and restart your phone ONLY if you don't have a Update.zip in the root of your phone
D22) If you don't want to take a leap of faith try this method (safest method but doesn't work for some people): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=860773
E1) Now is the fun part (we've just past the difficult parts)
E2) You need to hunt down the version of (official Samsung)software you wish to install ... just go through member's reviews and recommendations
E3) You need to find the product code of that build, you can do this navigating through this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913
OR by asking members (they can find out with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=787163)
E4) For me this was the Virgin mobile Australia build (XSA - an unbadged, no-bloatware, unlocked Froyo build with a free copy of Navigon Navigation)
E5) Make sure you update your Kies to "ver 1.5.3.10103_102" (latest as of the time I'm writing)
E6) Go visit this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835628 for information (the software may have been upgraded)
E7) Download (300KBs) the Kies Registry patcher 1.6.0.0 (latest as of writing) <<This only works on Windows computers, sorry Mac'ners>>
E8) Launch the Kies Registry Patcher WHEN KIES IS OPENED
E9) Click on File > Backup (and save this somewhere in your computer - this is your original product code - better safe than sorry)
E10) Make Enable Spoof to True
E11) Now where it says "Spoof Product Code as" type in the product code of your desire (mine is XSA)
E12) Hit Write Registry and it should say "Registry pathed successfully"
E13) Connect your phone via USB cable to the computer
E14) On your phone select "Samsung Kies" when the pop up comes ... it should be at the "Connected" screen (DO NOT HIT HOME BUTTON)
E15) On Kies it should find your phone, and a pop up on the corner will say "There is a firmware update available for your phone" hit that pop up
E16) Now you will see another pop up and it's asking if you want to "Back up contacts before upgrading firmware" ... seems like a good idea, tick the box and hit Upgrade
E17) If the screen on the phone shuts (ie standby) don't be alerted. Hit the power button to wake it up. DO NOT HIT THE HOME BUTTON!
E18) Another pop up will come to name the contacts file - I just hit save so its the original filename in original (Samsung)folder
E19) Another Pop up will come to say "Save to PC completed" - hit OK, its just letting you know the contacts saved properly
E20) Now you get another Pop up to start the Firmware Upgrade - This is an important area, note down the: Model Name, Current Version and Latest Version (if something goes wrong this info maybe valuable for developers)
E21) Mine is (model)GT-I9000, (current)PDA:JG4 / Phone:JG3 / CSC:JG2 and (latest) PDA:JP5 / Phone:JP3 / CSC:JP4 ......... notice they are diffirent, this is what I was looking for
E22) Hit Upgrade! (Allow Kies to function when Windows 7 or Windows Vista prompts you)
E23) Tick the "All information has been verified" and Click Next
**E24) Let Samsung record your phone number in their database? I don't care (I'm on insurance/contract/plan) and I hit "Allow saving" ad Clicked Next
E25) Wait patiently, its downloading the rom from the server, DO NOT UNPLUG THE DEVICE
E26) A progress bar will appear, your USB will get disconnected, reconnected several times, the phone will be stuck on the yellow triangle screen - these are normal
E27) The progress bar will slowly be filled from grey to blue and a progress bar will appear on your phone - almost there!
E28) The progress bar on the computer will finish and the pop up will read "GT-I9000 Upgrade completed" - Click Close
E29) Your phone will restart and will enter "recovery mode" some yellow texts will appear and scroll forward
E30) The phone will reboot again and you will see the boot image with the Galaxy S logo
E31) The phone will be stuck on that logo for awhile - be patient
E32) The phone will now get to your lockscreen, unlock it
E33) You will have to go through your initial setup firstly its the Swype tutorial, then data settings, and finally the account settings emerges
E34) If the Kies connection screen comes up: hit the home button
E35) Now you should have come to your Homescreen go and test everything (all your passwords, all your bookmarks, all your contacts, all your images/music/videos and all your apps (except bloatware) should be there but the order of all the widgets/apps in TouchWizz will be reset to abc-order)
E36) Goto Settings > About Phone Does it say Android 2.2?
E37) Well done you have passed Android Hacking 101, you are officially smarter than 50% of iPhone and Blackberry users
E38) Donate me a beer, nah just kidding, enjoy everything for free but feel free to donate to the developers that help make this possible

Can you elaborate?
Joke? No it's no joke but I should disclose (as always) this is a tried-and-true way of getting you to update your software but in no way can I be held responsible for damages.
Things may vary slightly in between different phones which is why the links for each source/thread is up there.
I found myself knowing what to do, but always guessing how to do it.
This is a step-by-step process of how and what I did to upgrade my phone to any ROM I want.
If this was posted up before I attempted my upgrade, I would've been so happy that someone really simplified it for me
This is a noobs guide??!!! Simplified??!! I think that everyone will appreciate the time you have spent typing this up and trying to help, but I'm with DamianGto, dude this guide is scary and just explains how YOU got YOUR particular phone running froyo and lets face it, you certainly didn't go about it the easy way!
Once again I think the time you have spent and the willingness to help is admirable, but there are much simpler and noob friendly guides out there

Well you need root + busybox to get the 3 button fix.
If anything a n00b did, they can recover with 3 button trick otherwise they will have a brick.
This is why this guide is long, to ensure things are a-ok.
If you found a friendlier guide can you post the link, much apprecated ;D
How do I exit downloading mode if I forgot to erase update.zip ?
What is it ? Kies
A2) Make sure you have Kies downloaded and installed on your computer
Thanks
Well I think this is an excellent guide that has great potential!
However, a couple of crucial mistakes, which if fixed could help make the guides less confusing...
At beginning of (D) you talk about (A-C) being solely so you could fix your 3 button download (which I don't think is actually true!)
.... But, you should mention 3 button download at the very start of the guide anyway!!
Also, you should include a quick test at the very start to check for 3 button download, because mine is already fine, so a newbie might run all those extra steps when they already had working 3 button download anyway! (The more sections that can be skipped the better!). You can then steer people to the sections they uniquely will need.
However, titanium backup isn't needed for 3 button download fix, but is a wise step before running a rom update. And this works best with root anyway. Hence I don't think your opener for (D) is very accurate. You didn't just complete those steps JUST to get download mode. The backup was important anyway!
Do others think there should be a stage added for backing up contacts etc?
A stage for backing up efi?
Anything else wise that should be in here?

[HOW TO] Fix the "Low on space" problem (in plain English)

The Problem
The HTC Droid Incredible shows a "Low on space: Phone storage space is getting low" warning despite having gobs of space free because the "Application data storage" folder (also known as /data/data) that is shared by all apps on the phone is only 150mb in size. As soon as only 10% of this folder is available, the warning appears. If it gets too much lower, apps stop responding and the phone crashes.
The Story
After many months of clearing app data, uninstalling apps, resetting my phone, and generally walking on eggshells trying to keep my data storage under the limit, I was getting ready to upgrade my device. I would search every few weeks to see if anyone had solved the problem, but all I found were more people stuck in my boat, and I was ready to give up. But then I stumbled across a series of threads on xda-developers.com that gave me new hope. In the course of one night, I learned from scratch how to root my phone, and I applied a fix that increased the "Application data storage" folder to a whopping 750mb. I am now able to download as many apps as I'd like and not have to worry about clearing out app data ever again.
However, it took a bit of scouring the forums and reading various guides to figure out how to do all this. Some of the items are quite technical in nature, and some of the guides skip steps that more experienced users would know how to do already. So I joined the forum to write this guide for the "regular" users out there like myself. My goal is to explain in plain English how to fix this nagging issue once and for all and to consolidate all the relevant info and files into one place. If you find this useful, please share this with others so we can all fully enjoy our phones!
The Credits
I did not invent any of the steps, tools, or methods I am about to describe. Hats off to the following people for supplying all the info and files I needed to fix the problem and write this how-to thread. Please let me know if I've missed anyone that should be mentioned and I will add them.
vbhines for the "New to Modding/Rooting" guide
The unrevoked team for their excellent one-click rooting software and drivers
dreamersipaq for the guide to rooting an Incredible
scotty1223 for the guide to rooting a 2.3.4 Incredible
jermaine151 for the "no data limit" mod that actually fixes the problem
cmlusco and tiny4579 for all their help answering questions and troubleshooting in this thread
The Ingredients
Here's what you'll need to perform this fix:
An HTC Incredible (obviously) with an SD card
A micro USB cable (you can use the one you charge your phone with)
A computer with a USB port and internet access (PC, Mac, or Linux)
An hour of free time
The Fix
Step 1: Read the "New to Modding/Rooting" guide so you know what you're getting into and can understand the terminology: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=744807
Step 2: Back up your contacts, pictures, etc. This guide is safe for your phone and will not erase any of your data if you follow it correctly, but it never hurts to back things up just in case.
Step 3a: Make sure your phone is decently charged. (at least 50%)
Step 3b: Make sure your phone isn't currently showing the "low on space" error. Delete some apps or data until the error goes away. You don't want to go through all this effort only to have your phone crash halfway through!
Step 4: Uninstall HTC sync software from your computer. Also make sure you are not running any software that communicates to your phone using USB, such as PDANet or DoubleTwist. If you haven't had to plug your phone into your computer to do anything prior to now, you're probably OK.
Step 5: On your phone, go to Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Development and put a check in the "USB debugging" box.
Step 6: Plug your phone into your computer, select "Charge Only", select "remember my selection", click "Done", and then unplug your phone.
Step 7: If you are on a Windows PC, follow this user-friendly guide to install the USB drivers you'll need: http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install
When I did this step, I actually found my Android entry from the first screenshot in the guide under "Android Phone" and it did not say "Android 1.0". Don't worry, you can still use this entry to continue with the next step in the guide to "Update Driver Software".
Mac and Linux users can skip this step.
Step 8: Root your phone. This step is a bit more involved, so be sure to read the directions carefully. On your phone, go to Menu -> Settings -> About phone -> Software information and look at what it says under "Android version" at the top.
If it says 2.3.4, do this:
Download Clockwork 5.0.2.0: http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/CWM_5.0.2.0/PB31IMG.zip (link updated 6/22/12)
Extract the recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-inc.img from the zip file and put it somewhere you'll remember.
Download Unrevoked 3.22 (this is intentionally NOT the latest version): http://dinc.does-it.net/Unrevoked/Unrevoked_3.22.exe (link updated 6/22/12)
Run Unrevoked_3.22.exe
Inside the program, go to File -> Custom Recovery and select the .img file from above. At the bottom of the program window, it should now say "Recovery: Custom" and "Waiting for device"
Plug in your phone and wait while Unrevoked runs automatically. It will reboot your phone several times and will take some time, so be patient!
Once it's done, unplug your phone and ensure that a "Superuser Permissions" application is inside your app drawer. Don't run it. Instead, go to Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications -> All, scroll down to "Superuser Permissions", click it, then click "Clear data". Return back Home.
If it says anything other than 2.3.4, do this:
Download Unrevoked 3.32: http://www.unrevoked.com/recovery/
Run reflash_package.exe. It may start up right away, or it may ask you to extract the files. Put them somewhere you can find, and once the extraction is done, find and run reflash.exe.
Plug in your phone and wait while Unrevoked runs automatically. It will reboot your phone several times and will take some time, so be patient!
After the above steps, everyone should do this:
Launch the Android Market and search for "ROM Manager". The first result should be "ROM Manager" by ClockworkMod and it should have a picture of a top hat above a gear as its icon. Click it, then click "Download", then "Accept & download". If it is already installed, you can just return Home.
Once ROM Manager has finished installing, launch it and select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" (the first option). Confirm your phone model (HTC Incredible). A window will pop up asking for root permissions - click to allow it.
Optional: After the download completes, scroll down and click "Backup Current ROM". You may need a lot of space free on your SD card to perform this backup depending on what you have on your phone. Once you create this backup, you can use ROM Manager to fully restore your phone (including all apps, data, and settings) in case anything goes wrong. This can take a significant amount of time, so again, be patient!
If all went well, your phone should be exactly the same as it was before, except you now have a couple new apps, and more importantly, root access!
Step 9: On your phone, go to Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Development and uncheck the "USB debugging" box.
Step 10: Apply the Fix. This is the step you've been waiting for!
Go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1623038, click the link for the EXT4All files in the first post, download "Convert2Ext4_no_data_limit_normal_dalvik.zip", and put it somewhere you'll remember. You can also go directly to this URL to download the file: http://dinc.does-it.net/EXT4_Mods/ (links updated 6/22/12)
Plug your phone into your computer, bring down the notification bar, select the "USB connection type" item, select "Disk drive", and click Done.
On your computer, find your phone's SD card. If you're unsure which drive is your SD card, look at how big each drive is. The drive that has a size of 6.59GB is the phone's internal memory, so the other drive is the SD card. The SD card that comes with the Incredible is 1.83GB in size, but yours may be different if you bought your own SD card.
Move "Convert2Ext4_no_data_limit_normal_dalvik.zip" from your computer to the SD card. Do not put it inside any folders.
After the file has finished moving, bring down the notifications bar, select the "USB connection type" item, select "Charge only", then click done.
Unplug your phone from your computer.
Launch ROM Manager from your app drawer and click "Reboot into Recovery" (the second option). Click "OK" to proceed.
After the phone reboots, you will now see a black screen with some blue options on it. Use the volume buttons on the left to scroll down to "install zip from sdcard" and click the optical trackpad button at the bottom of the phone to select it.
Click "choose zip from sdcard" (the first option)
Scroll down to the very bottom and select "Convert2Ext4_no_data_limit_normal_dalvik.zip"
Scroll down to "Yes - Install Convert2Ext4_no_data_limit_normal_dalvik.zip" and click it. This step will take some time to complete, and the progress bar may not move at all. Be patient!
Once it is done, click the power button at the top of your phone until you're back at the main menu, then select "Reboot system" (the first option). If you hit power too many times and end up with a blank screen, just hit power one more time and you'll see the menu.
When the phone is done rebooting after this last step, verify that the fix worked by going to Menu -> Settings -> SD & phone storage and look at the "Application data storage" section. It should now say that the "Total space" is 748mb!
At this point you can run happily through an open field, shout from the highest mountaintop, or just shed a tear of joy, because you can now install tons of apps and let them accumulate all the data they want. Enjoy!
P.S. Please let me know if any of these steps are incorrect or unclear so I can fix them. Thanks!
Troubleshooting
Here are a couple of issues people have come across while doing the steps in this guide, along with the solutions. Thanks to cmlusco for these helpful answers!
The guide says my phone should have rebooted back to the main screen, but I'm on a black screen with a bunch of blue options!
If you're on this step and the guide doesn't say you need to be here yet, just use the volume buttons to scroll to the "Reboot System Now" option and click the optical trackpad. Then you can continue on with the guide!
I'm stuck on a black screen with white bars on the side!
If your phone is "s-off", reflash the recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-inc.img file from Step #8 using hboot. To get to hboot, turn your phone off, hold the "volume down" button, and turn it back on. Keep holding the "volume down" button until you get to the menu where you can flash the .img file.
If your phone is not "s-off" or you have no idea what "s-off" means, run Unrevoked again with the same .img file from Step #8.
In either case, you should be able to continue using the guide from where you left off!
My phone keeps rebooting over and over and I can't do anything!
Pull out the battery, wait for 15 seconds, and put it back in and turn the phone back on. If it still keeps rebooting, pull out/re-insert the battery again, go into hboot (see above answer) and try the following steps. You can stop as soon as one of them works!
1. Restore a backup that you made in a previous step (if you have one).
2. Reflash the .img file from Step #8.
3. Flash the .img file here: http://dinc.does-it.net/wildstang83_inc_4.08.605.2_11232011.zip (note: this one will take you back to stock, so you'll have to start the guide over).
I'm still stuck!
If all else fails, please post your issue in this thread so someone can help you out. You can also try restoring your backup (you made a backup, right??) and starting over from the top. Good luck!
Potential Alternate Solution
Soniclude that was a great very detailed write up. Here is another option that I found that seems to also solve the dreaded low disk space...
Since you clearly outlined the steps for rooting your device, I wont go into that. But, why stop at fixing one of the most annoying stock problems. Rooting is half the battle to flashing a new rom - which is precisely what I did to stop the LDS issue.
I used to use CM7 and then flashed over to MIUI but recently I flashed the best rom I have used to date - ICS-Dinc AOKP (]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1475936) which is a full fledged ICS port for your OG Dinc.
Since then I have not received any LDS errors (although I have not been using this ROM that long) but I would assume that it would be similar to my lengthy experience with CM7, in which I never got the LDS warning.
Here is what my device displays as available space for applications
View attachment 895332
As you can see I have used 144MB with 604MB free for a total of 748MB, identified as internal storage.
Also, just so you can see that this ROM is not an ICS overlay and is truly a port, here is the device info
View attachment 895331
72ls1's (the dev for ICS-Dinc AOKP) has some really good directions and make the process very easy.
For those that are interested and need a few more additional details, here are a few things that helped me:
1. Make sure you have backup your device data, this includes your apps, contacts (you should be just setting all contacts to sync with your gmail account to begin with), messages and email settings. Use an app like Titanium Backup for apps; Backup and Restore app for messages; Call Log Restore for calling
2. Download the zip files outline in the ROM posting of your chocie to your sdcard; They should be placed at the top level of your sdcard, meaning not in another folder. The zip files for ICS-Dinc AOK include the ICS-Dinc zip, Gapps (use this one gapps-ics-20120207-signed.zip - http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-ics-20120207-signed.zip), and Tiamat Kernel
3. In Recovery make a backup of your device (in case you need to flash back due to an error)
4. Within Recovery prior to flashing the rom make sure to unmount data, sdcard and cache
5. Then clear cache and dalivik-cache (this one is under the advanced options)
6. Do a factory reset
7. Install from zip in the following order: ICS-Dinc AOK V.02, Gapps, Tiamat
8. Reset your device
Now go enjoy the goodness of a fresh ice cream sandwich!
Hope this helps anyone else out there in either the low disk space issue or that is having questions about flashing a rom.
Where is Unrevoked 3.22?
I'm going to use the downgrade-and-reflash method to root my 2.3.4 Incredible and after reading the forums have spent the supper hour looking around for Unrevoked 3.22. There was a megaupload site that always says bandwidth is exceeded, and one more that I found where everything is in a language I can't decipher.
Does anybody have a working link to 3.22? All I want is to turn on my stupid wireless hotspot so my wife can use her Ipad in teh car without having to pay Verizon another $30 a month for access to data I already have. Argh!
Thanks,
Ryan

You can actually acomplish that without rooting.
Open dial pad and type ##778# and hit call.
Select edit mode and enter six zeros (000000) as the password.
Select security and look for S.IP DUN username, it should look something like this [email protected]. Change it to be [email protected], just remove the "dun.".
Back out to the main menu and select M.IP Default Profile. Look for DUN NAI and change it to be [email protected], remove the "dun."
Hit the menu button and select commit modifications. Your phone will reboot.
Now just use the stock 3g mobile hotspot app. When you first open it it will say you have to have a subscription and pay, just procede you will not be charged, and verizion is none the wiser. I have been doing this my self for over a year now.
Compass sensor broken
Somebody has the same issue? after flashing the zip i cannot use correctly the compass sensor, for example in SkyMaps app.
This is by far the best tutorial out there to gain root and achieve s-OFF I've come across. Thank you SIR for your time and tutorial. Just EXCELLENT!!
for me the issue was my data/data folder (hint dont sync 1500 facebook friends and never do it with high res pics and with two differant apps haha) =] jsut removed all the contacts i didnt need and turned off the sync from normal facebook app and working perfect now
stuck in loop
I followed the instructions for the 2.3.4 and after I applied the Convert2Ext4_no_data_limit_normal_dalvik fix I got stuck in a loop with at the HTC Incredible boot screen, not sure what to do now.. can only get back to the recovery mode. Not sure what to do from here

If you made or have a previous roms backup. Just wipe everything in mounts and storage menu except sdcard and emmc, then restore your backup. If you dont have a backup flash a fresh rom.
You kind sir are a gentleman and a scholar. That "low space" bug has been annoying me since July 2009. I greatly appreciate you breaking down the l337 sp33k to plain English.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Thank you for the spectacular write-up, soniclude!!!
Is there a particular reason that you did not suggest using the no_data_limit_dalvik_moved mod?
Does it not work?

I agree that this was an excellent how to. Thanks for the effort.
I used the no_data_limit_dalvik_moved mod and for some reason, my phone became really laggy. I'm on Pons CM7. 2. Now I'm a little hesitant to use any of the ext4 mods b/c I don't understand them too well. I'm not clear on why there is a partition in the first place. Why htc devs made it so small... Homework to do.

Thanks cmlusco I used your method to unlock the 3G Hotspot on my phone and it worked like a charm.
Issue in Step 10
Thank you very much for the easy to follow directions soniclude. I went through all the steps and when I got to step 10, I ran into an issue. After clicking on "Reboot into Recovery" the phone restarts and goes to the white htc screen. After that the screen just goes black with thin white lines down the sides and stays like that. So I never see the blue options. Has anyone come across this? If so, what do I do from there?
I get the message: failed to root. is your firmware too new? What now?
Is there anything I can do now to revert my firmware so I can gain root.

If your on 2.3.4 you need to follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306400 to root and get s-off.
I understand I could downgrade to 2.2 to get s off but only after I gain root. It seems I can't get rooted because I am running 2.3?
---------- Post added at 06:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:53 PM ----------
It looks like the only step diffrent from the link you posted and this one is to run unrevoked as admin
I think I know what is wrong. The link to Unrevoked 3.22 is not working so I googled it and 3.22 came up but it was actually 3.32 that was downloaded and I can't find 3.22 anywhere. Does anyone have a copy of 3.22?
I found the correct 3.22 and now my Incredible is Incredible!!!! Rooted and it feels so good
Thanks for such a great thread!!!!
SWEEEEEET This worked awesome.

Galaxy Tab GT-P1010 (WiFi Only) NooB Guide

Galaxy Tab GT-P1010 NooB Guide - Last Revised 2012-02-29
2013-03-09 - SEE POST 9 FOR IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Revisions
2012-02-27 - Initial Publication
2012-02-29 - Added Firmware Download, Thread Consolidation, Custom ROM's, Flashing Stock Firmware and Q&A Section(s)
Post Summary
In this thread I will attempt to outline the details I know of regarding the Galaxy Tab GT-P1010. I feel this is a necessary thread because this device is NOT the same as the various other devices that garner so much attention within this forum and I personally experianced quite a difficult time searching to find the questions to my answers as they releated to this device in particular. While it is my opinion that this device should have it's own sub-forum, I do not believe it is popular enough. This said I feel that it is a fairly solid device and if you are like me, you are somewhat lost in in finding the approriate information. Hopefully this thread will be informative and popular enough that it may get stickied so us lowly 1010 users can find the information they are looking for. I am an active XDA member and will do my best to keep this thread updated as new information & techniques become available. If you see some information that you feel should be included do not hesitate to bring same to my attention and I will update the OP's accordinglly. These Instructions are for use on Windows machines even though I personally use a Mac. If you are in the same boat, I recomend running windows within a Virtual Machine (VM). I use Parallels but VirtualBox is a free alternative. Mac and or Linux only instructions may follow at a later date, but honestly a majority of users use Windows so I'm starting there. Without further a do, let's get started.
GT-P1010 Device Specifications
The GT-P1010 is also know as the "Wi-Fi Only" 7" Galaxy Tab. It differs from a majority of the devices in this forum because it has NO 3G or cellular capabilities. The hardware of the device is also different enough from the 3G/Cellular versions, that the Development going on for these other devices will NOT work for it. The GT-P1010 is unfortunately considered a "forgotten" device and even Samsung has seemingly abandoned providing updates for it. This is particularlly evident within the United States (US), however other Countries, speciffically the United Kingdom (UK) have been seeing updates. For the record I am the owner of a US version and this guide was written using my experiance on that device.
A complete list of specifications can be viewed from Samsung's US Website HERE
MD5 Sums
When downloading files from the internet is extremly important that you verify the download was complete and not corrupted. Insuring this can avoid troubleshooting issues that may simply be because of a bad file. All files available from this post will have an MD5 sum next to them. To verify that your file is EXACTLY the same as the file on the server you will need to run it through an MD5 checker. These checkers are available freely over the internet and Mac OS X even has one built in. I'm not going to make this post about how to run these programs but have included a few links below to get you started. A complete explanation of MD5 Sums can be found at Wikipedia.
WinMD5Free
Drivers - Samsung KIES
In order to perform updates to your P-1010 you need to be able to communicate with the device via a USB cable. While there are stand-alone USB drivers available, I chose to install Samsung's "KIES" application so that I could see if any updates were being pushed directly from Samsung. The KIES program also offers additional functionality to allow you to sync various media on your device. This functionality may or may not be needed for all users but by installing the software you are also guaranteed that the drivers needed to communicate with the device are installed on your machine. The US Samsung KIES site can be accessed HERE but I have included a direct link to the latest Windows Version below.
Kies_2.2.0.12014_18_7 ---- MD5 Sum: 7116aa29ce9df3dc2e916128c9c0aa4c
Download the file and double click it to install KIES and the drivers to you system. Once this is acomplished running the program will present you with a screen similar to the one below:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
ODIN
ODIN is a utility that communicates with your device when it is in Download Mode (see below). This utility allows you to flash different firmware and other files to your Galaxy Tab. A screenshot of ODIN running is posted below.
To Run ODIN you will need to download and Un-zip the following file. Once this is acomplished you can run the program by simply double clicking the .EXE file "Odin3 v1.85.exe" which will be inside the un-zipped (extracted) folder. The program does NOT get "installed" and this section is just an overview of the tool. Additional steps on when to use it, and how, will be included in the appropriate sections below.
Odin3-v1.85.zip. ---- MD5 Sum: 414e3af7c4c01e21527aeaab65e68a75
Download Mode
Initiating Download Mode
To communicate with ODIN the device needs to be placed into Download Mode. This is accomplished (from an OFF condition) by holding the Volume Down button + the Power Button at the same time until Download Mode is activated. I have found that the easiest way to do this is to press and hold the Volume Down button and then press and hold the Power Button. Download mode will activate within a couple of seconds and your device will indicate such by presenting you with the following screen. As soon as that happens you can release both buttons.
Exiting Download Mode
If you flash any updated files to your Tab using the procedures outlined below, the device will accept the files and reboot on it's own thereby exiting download mode. If you find that you have entered download mode when you did not intend to use ODIN to flash files, you can EXIT download mode by Holding the Power Button for about 10 seconds. The device will then turn off and when you turn it back on it will boot normally. This can be a little scary considering the warning stating "Do Not Turn of the Target". This warning can be ignored and it is actually telling you not to turn it off while files are being written to it.
Connecting Device to ODIN
To play it safe, I recomend that you try connecting your device to KIES FIRST just to insure that the drivers have been installed properly. If KIES can recognize the device then so can ODIN. Simply open KIES and connect the device to your computer via the USB cable. Once you see that KIES is communicating with the Tab you can close KIES and disconnect the Device from the USB. This will only need to be done once, again, just to make sure the communication is working. Once you are satisfied that it is ....
Run ODIN by double clicking the executable file as outlined above. Place the device in download mode as outlined above. Connect the device to the computer using the USB cable. You will then notice that ODIN has found and is communicating with your device because the ID:COM field will turn yellow and assign a COM port to your device. This COM port will vary by user so don't be alarmed if you personally don't see "COM5" as shown in the screenshot below. As long as this field turns yellow you are good to go.
Recovery Mode - Stock
A stock Tab has a built in recovery mode that will allow you to perform a factor reset on the device and other "maintenance". This mode is entered (from an OFF condition) by holding the Volume Up button + the Power Button at the same time until you see the Samsung Logo, then Release the Power button but continue to hold the Volume up button until Recovery Mode is activated and your device presents you with the following screen. As soon as that happens you can release the Volume Up button. Once Recovery is activated you can toggle through the menu items by using the Volume up & Volume down buttons. To execute a selection use either the Power OR Home Button. It is the Power button on my device but this apparently varies on some models.
Rooting
If you are here on XDA then you are probably interested in "Rooting" your device. Rooting has many advantages and certain Market Applications will only work if you have these Root Powers. The US version of the Stock GT-P1010 is currently running the Froyo version of the Android Operating System. A Gingerbread version has not been officially released and may never be. We will deal with upgrading to Gingerbread later in the Tutorial. For now, if you want to Root your device running Froyo (My device had Build: Froyo.UEKC6), you can follow these steps:
1. Download the application Z4Root from the following link:
Z4Root.1.3.0.zip ---- MD5 Sum: 077974421412b25089289acdc763b1c1
2. Unzip the archive to Extract the file : "z4root.1.3.0.apk"
3. Connect your Tab to the PC and initiate "Mass Storage Mode"
Connect USB Cable
Drag down Status Bar and Click "USB Connected" under the ongoing tasks
Click "Turn on USB Storage"
Your device should mount and be available as a Removable Drive in Windows
4. Copy the .apk file from step 2 to your device
It doesn't matter where you put this file. Just remember where so you can find it in the next step(s)
The easiest place would be the "root" of the Removable Disk
5. Enable "Unknown Sources" on your Tab
Settings >> Applications >> Check Unknown Sources Box
6. Enable "USB Debugging" on your Tab
Settings >> Applications >> Development >> Check USB Debugging Box
7. Install Z4Root
Use any "file explorer" program on the Tab. You should have an application called "My Files". It will work fine
Navigate to the .apk file you put on the device in Step 4
Click the .apk file
Click Install
Application will install and you will have a Z4Root Icon in your app drawer
8. Setup Z4Root
Click the Z4Root Icon
You will be presented with two (2) Options. Temporary Root & Permanent Root
I chose Permanent Root but you could "try" it first if you like
In my case the device re-booted and I was rooted.
To test this I installed an application called Titanium Backup (see next Section).
Note: The Z4Root Icon will remain and if you open it again you will be given the option to"Un-Root".
Titanium Backup
Titanium Backup is a GREAT program that lets you backup all your applications as well as the user data that is used by them. For example your game progress, high scores, ETC. Titanium Backup REQUIRES Root access and in my opinion is reason enough to Root your device. There is a Free as well as a Paid version of this application. Let's install this program to verify that we have in fact "rooted" our device.
Installing and Checking for Root
Go to the market and search for Titanium Backup
Give the free version a try just to confrm Root. Simply install it from the market.
Once installed open the application and you should be presented with a dialog box stating that "Titanium Backup is requesting Super User Permissions".
Click allow and follow any on-screen instructions
You will eventually get to an "Overview" screen and should see that Root Access has a Green Checkmark next to it and that BusyBox was installed from the app.
Congratulations you are now rooted
Backing up Files
To backup your applications and user data using Titanium Backup follow the steps below:
Open Titanium Backup and click the Backup/Restore Tab near the top of the screen
A list of the applications installed on your device will appear
Click the Settings Drawer Hardware Key
Click Batch
Under the Backup section on the next screen click Run next to "Backup all User App + System Data"
On the next screen Select the applications you want to backup, They are ALL selected by default.
Make sure the "Pause Active App's" radio button is selected
Click "Run the batch operation" button
Congratulations. You have just performed an application Backup!
Saving your backup to your computer
There is no reason performing a backup if you are just going to leave it on your device. Obviously if something catastrophic were to happen, you would lose the backup as well. The backup files are located in the /sdcard/TitaniumBackup directory.
Initiate "Mass Storage" as outlined in the Rooting Section above.
Once the device is mounted navigate to the TitaniumBackup directory. Note: When mounted to the PC, the /sdcard directoy is the one mounted so TitaniumBackup should appear in the root of the Removable Disk.
Copy the entire TitaniumBackup Directory to your PC
You now have a folder that can be restored to your device allowing you to restore your applications without re-downloading them from the Market.
Remember to copy this folder to your computer after perfoming any future backups.
Restoring your applications
To restore your applications and user data using Titanium Backup make sure that the backup containing the files you wish to restore is located at /sdcard/TitaniumBackup and follow the steps below:
Open Titanium Backup and click the Backup/Restore Tab near the top of the screen
A list of the applications installed on your device will appear
Click the Settings Drawer Hardware Key
Click Batch
Under the Restore section on the next screen click Run next to "Restore missing apps with data"
On the next screen Select the applications you want to Restore, They are ALL selected by default.
Decide if you want to restore just the app, the app and it's data or just the data by clicking the appropriate radio button
Click "Run the batch operation" button
Follow the prompts to install each application
Congratulations. You have just perfored a restore
Note: Once we get into flashing custom Rom's in the sections that follow, sometimes restoring application "data" can be problematic. If you flash a new firmware or Rom and are experiancing issues with an application after restoring it's data, this may be the reason.
Custom Recovery - ClockWorkMod
In the section above we explained about the System Reovery that was built and installed by Samsung. This is great for restoring your system to an out of the box (OOB) condition but not for much else. In order to flash custom Rom's and perform Nandroid Backups we will need to replace the "stock" recovery with a Custom version. ClockWorkMod (CWM) is the recovery of choice for a majority of users and while there are "others" out there, only CWM has been made available for our devices. A Nandroid backup is an exact copy or "image" of your system and can be used to restore your system to the exact state it was in at the time you made the backup. So, lets get to installing CWM.
You will need to download the following file:
Skin1980_P1010_CWM-RECOVERY-BETA-1 ---- MD5 Sum: ca14360ee5f1eebd0efaec5adc77940e
Note: This file is only to be used if you are running the Froyo Version of Android
Using the information above put your device in Download Mode and connect it to ODIN
click the PDA button in ODIN and navigate to the file you just downloaded
Make sure your ODIN screen is setup and matched the screenshot below:
Click the "Start" button and watch your device and the "Message" section of ODIN. You will see some some text in the message center and your screen will show a progress indicator.
Once this completes your device will re-boot. It may boot directly to your new ClockWorkMod OR it might boot back into your operating system.
If it boots to the operating system you can get to CWM using the same procedure outlined in the "Stock" recovery section above. Volume up + Power.
Make sure you are booted into CWM and see the screen shown below:
Once you are in CWM the Volume Up / Down buttonas re used to navigate through the menu choices and the Settings Drawer Hardware ley is used to select an option. The Back hardware key also functions to go back to the previous menu but all screens also offer a "Go Back" choice. If you click the Power Button and are presented with a blank screen simply click it again and CWM will come back up. Now, lets make out first Nandroid Backup!
Making a Nandroid Backup
Navigate and Execute the "Backup and Restore" menu item
Navigate and Execute the "Backup" menu item
Sit back and wait for your backup to complete.
A progress indicator as well as some text will be flashing across the screen
When it completes you will see .. "Backup Complete"
That's it! Congratulations!
Saving your backup to your computer
Again, as with Titanium there is no reason performing a backup if you are just going to leave it on your device. The CWM backup files are located in the /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup directory. Inside this directory you will see a folder that is named based upon the date and time you performed the backup. For Example 2012-02-27.21.57.14 means that the backup was created on February 27, 2012 at 21:57:14. This is UTC time so make sure you add or subtract your UTC offset to get to "local" time.
Initiate "Mass Storage" as outlined in the Rooting Section above.
Once the device is mounted navigate to the clockworkmod/backup directory. Note: When mounted to the PC, the /sdcard directoy is the one mounted so clockworkmod directory should appear in the root of the Removable Disk.
Copy the folder containing your backup to your PC
You now have a folder that can be restored to your device allowing you to restore your system to the exact sate it was in at the time of the backup..
Remember to copy any future backups to your PC as Well.
Restoring a Nandroid Backup
To restore your system to it's nacked up state make sure that the backup containing the Nandroid you wish to restore is located at /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup and follow the steps below:
Boot into CWM
Navigate and Execute the "Backup and Restore" menu item
Navigate and Execute the "Restore" menu item
Sit back and wait for your restore to complete.
A progress indicator as well as some text will be flashing across the screen
When it completes you will see .. "Restore Complete"
Navigate to and execute the "Reboot System Now" menu item
Your device will reboot and you will be restored to the exact state your system was in when you made the backup
Mounting Mass Storage in CWM
In some instances you may be faced with a system that won't boot which makes getting your Nandroid Backup put back on your device problematic. Don't fear. Using CWM you can mount the USB Mass Storage without the need to be running the operating system. Here's how:
Boot into CWM
Plug your USB Cable into your PC
Navigate to and Execute the "Mounts and storage" menu item
Navigate to and Execute the "mount USB storage" menu item
The Device will mount and you will have access to it from your PC
Copy your Nandroid Backup to the clockworkmod/backup folder
Go "back"
Go "Back"
Go to "backup and restore"
Restore your Nandroid
Reboot
Welcome back to a running machine!!

Firmware and Kernel's for P1010
This section will contain a list and download links for the various Firmware's available for the GT-P1010. As noted above the US version has been getting no love from Samsung with regard to updates. This is a shame and makes no sense to me considering the UK version HAS been actively updated. With this said however many users have been "flashing" the UK versions to their US Tab's with success.

Custom Rom's
2/29/2012
Currently there are no Custom Rom's available for the GT-P1010. A Developer named Motafoca is working on a port of Cyanogenmod and information regarding progress can be viewed in the following thread.
Motofoca's Cyanogen Port
Motofoca is a member of the MadTeam and they have their own forum which can be viewed HERE.
The only other "Non-Stock" alternative at this time is CleanRom developed by scrosler There is also a website dedicated to this ROM viewable HERE.
I used the term "Non-Custom" because the CleanRom is based upon a Stock Gingerbread European firmware. From the Website they did the following:
Removed Samsung Bloat!
ADW Launcher or TouchWiz Launcher!
95% AOSP Gingerbread themed
All Apps up to date!
De-Odexed

Flashing Stock Firmware(s)
Flashing Stock Firmware(s)
We have said that updated firmware for the US version of the GT-P1010 has NOT been actively provided by Samsung however if you look in Post 2 above you will see that all is not lost. The Europe version of this device has been provided with an update as late as January 2012. I would recommend (and really it was the reason I wrote this tutorial) that you perform ALL the steps above BEFORE flashing any type of Firmawre update/upgrade. This will not only give you experiance running the "tools" but it will allow you to perform the various back-ups in case anything goes "wrong".
Quite simply, Firmware is "flashed" to your device using ODIN. I have searched for a complete guide explaining the vaious sections of ODIN to no avail. Honestly I don't know when certain fields (PIT, CSC), ETC need to be populated and when they don't. I believe, but am not 100% sure that when flashing a brand new Firmware (for example from a US to European version) that the PIT, PDA and CSC fields need to be filled in and the Re-Partition radio button needs to be Checked. I have ALWAYS had the Auto-Reboot & F. Rest Time boxes checked, but again, I can't say why. It is my belief that if the Re-Partition button is checked, that it has the effect of "wiping" all partitions on the device.The only guide I have found is the following:
P1010-Flashingguide.pdf
It is probably a fair statement to make that if a Zip or RAR file you download contains a PIT or CSC file, then you probably need to included them in your flash. Keep in mind that I have experianced an issue where a seperate ZIP file was compressed inside an overall ZIP container. Always make sure that you not only extract the main downloaded file but that you also look inside the extracted folder for another ZIP file that may need to also be extracted.
I will provide an example of my experiance upgrading my US version to the latest UK version below.
Upgrading US Version to Latest Rooted UK Version
First, I must give full Credit to Taney for developing the instructions from This Thread. I followed them and experianced no significant issues. I will be re-creating a portion of them, expanding (clarifying) on some areas that I felt would give NooB's difficulity and then taking the instructions a step farther to upgrade to what is known as the "KPI" version of the Firmware which is the latest one Available. PLEASE make sure that you "Thank" Taney because without the instructions that he provided none of this would be possible.
A. Upgrade / Downgrade to the Latest Froyo Firmware
Place your Device in Download Mode and connect it to ODIN as outlined in the tutorial above.
Download the P1010XWKC1_OXX.rar file from the link in Post 2 of this thread and check the MD5 Sum
Extract this rar file to create a folder called "P1010XWKC1_OXXKC1"
Within ODIN Click the PIT button and navigate to the file "p1wifi_20110128_r10_00.pit" within the folder you extracted.
Click the PDA Button and navigate to the file "P1010XWKC1-REV03-ALL-low-CL946441.tar.md5"
Click the CSC Button and navigate to the file "GT-P1010-MULTI-CSC-OXXKC1.tar.md5"
Make sure the Re-Partition, Auto-Reboot and F. Reset Time buttons are CHECKED
Click "Start". ****** NOTICE THIS WILL WIPE ALL DATA ON YOUR DEVICE*****
When these steps are completed and the process running your ODIN screen should look like this:
When the process Completes your Device will Re-boot. The first Boot could take significantly longer than normal. Just wait and when you see the lock screen open it and enter the OS. At this point you may be experiancing what is known as a "boot-loop". Simply stated the device will keep re-booting and not allow you to do anything without throwing "force close" errors, In his tutorial Taney says that this may or may not happen. It did for me and the fix is in the next section.
B. Flash updated Kernel
To fix the effects of the boot loop you need to flash another file known as a kernel. Like I said I personally DID experiance the boot-loops and had to perform these steps. Since my overall procedure was successful, it is my recomendation that you do it whether you experiance the boot-loop or not. This decision is entirely up to you but you have my suggestion. To flash the Kernel perform the following:
Download the file file "P1010ZHKF1-kernel.ZIP" from the Kernel's section in Post 2 of this thread and check the MD5 Sum
Extract the ZIP file to create the folder "P1010ZHKF1-kernel"
If ODIN is still open replace the file in the PDA field with the file "P1010ZHKF1-KERNEL-eng.tar" from the extracted folder OR
If ODIN was closed open it, repopulate the PIT and CSC fields as outlined in Section A above and select the new file for the PDA field.
UN-CHECK the Re-partition check box
Power off your Tab. NOTE: If it is stuck in a bootloop I found that holding the power button down finally was able to shut off the device.
Start the device in Download mode and connect it to ODIN
If everything is set-up as outlined and ODIN has found your Device.. Press Start
When the process completes your device will re-boot and the ODIN screen will look like this:
At this point you should have a bootable Device and not experiance any further boot-loops. Your About Device Information should read as follows:
Firmware: 2.2.1
Kernel: 2.6.32.9 ([email protected]_24 #1)
Build: Froyo.XXKC1
C. Flash KPG Gingerbread update
In this step we will flash our first Gingerbread update known as the "KPG Version". Follow these steps:
Download the file "P1010XXKPG_P1010XEUKPG_XEU.zip" from the Firmware section in Post 2 and Check the MD5 Sum.
Extract the ZIP file to create the folder "P1010XXKPG_P1010XEUKPG_XEU"
If ODIN is still open replace the file in the PDA field with the file "P1010XXKPG_P1010XEUKPG_HOME.tar.md5" from the extracted folder OR
If ODIN was closed open it, repopulate the PIT and CSC fields as outlined in Section A above and select the new file for the PDA field.
UN-CHECK the Re-partition check box
Power OFF your Tab
Start the device in Download mode and connect it to ODIN
If everything is set-up as outlined and ODIN has found your Device.. Press Start
When the process completes your device will re-boot.
At this point you should have a bootable Device running Gingerbread. Your About Device Information should read as follows:
Firmware: 2.3.6
Kernel: 2.6.35.7 - CL749223 ([email protected] #1)
Build:GINGERBREAD.XXKPG
D. Reinstall ClockWorkMod
The steps above have had the effect of returning your device to stock and therefore the Recovery Partition was overwritten with the "stock" recovery. We need to re-install ClockWorkMod at this point.
Download the following file and check the MD5 Sum
Skin1980-P1010-NEW-CF-ROOT-GB.tar .......MD5 Sum: 1cab6775d572c416371c09f9c3654823
Put your device in Download Mode and Connect it to ODIN
Navigate to the File you downloaded using the PDA field
Leave the PIT and CSC fields BLANK and Un-Checked
Un-Check the Re-Partition Check Box
Click RUN
When the operation completes the device will re-boot
At this point you will have a Rooted KPG Version of Gingerbread with a fully Functioning ClockWorkMod Recovery. You may wish to stop here but reports informed me that the KPI firmware was faster. I decided to Install it as outlined blelow/
E. Flash KPI Gingerbread update
Before Installing the KPI Update I did the following:
From within the running system went to CWM application and opened it.
Granted the application Superuser Permissions
Used the application to "Re-Boot to Recovery"
Device Re-Booted into CWM and I performed a Nandroid Backup
While still in CWM "Wipe Data / Factory Reset" AND
Wipe Cache Partition AND
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Power Off
Your Device is now ready to recieve the KPI Firmware Update
Download the file "P1010XXKPI_XEUKPI_Android_2.3.6.zip" from Post 2 and Check the MD5 Sum
Extract the the file to create the folder "P1010XXKPI_XEUKPI_Android_2.3.6"
Start you Device in Download Mode and connect it to ODIN
Navigate to the file "P1010XXKPI_P1010XEUKPI_HOME.tar.md5" in the PDA Field
Leave the PIT and CSC fields Blank and Un-cjecked
Make sure the Re-Partition checkbox is Un-Checked
Click Run
While the program is running your ODIN screen will look like this:
When the Process completes your Device will Re-Boot and your About Device Info will be as follows:
Firmware: 2.3.6
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-CL882382 ([email protected] #1)
Build: GINGERBREAD.XXKPI
At this point I performed the following:
Went Through Initial Setup Screens
Powered Off Device
F. Re-Install ClockWorkMod AGAIN
Same as before. The procedure has wiped out our Recovery and we need to Re-install it. This time however we will use a different file beause I do not Believe the Skin1980 Gingerbread Version is compatible with the KPI Firmware. Luckily we have another Developer working on this Device. Please visit and Thank Motafoca for providing the following file:
madteam-cwm-p1010-kpi.tar .......MD5 Sum: f868e789245ec3dae87efaf2e30b1165
Put your device in Download Mode and Connect it to ODIN
Navigate to the File you downloaded using the PDA field
Leave the PIT and CSC fields BLANK and Un-Checked
Un-Check the Re-Partition Check Box
Click RUN
When the operation completes the device will re-boot
At this point you will have a Rooted KPI Version of Gingerbread with a fully Functioning ClockWorkMod Recovery.
G. Final Steps (Optional)
Opened CWM Application and Granted SuperUser Permissions
Rebooted to Recovery Using "Reboot Recovery"
NOTE: This version of CWM uses different button mappings. Volume Up / Volume Down to navigate and POWER button to Select
Mounted Device using Mounts / Storage and connected to PC
Put Titanium Backup files back on Device
Reboot System Now
Setup Date and Time
Connected to WiFi
Went to Market and Added Google Account
Waited for Account Sync to complete
Re-Enabled "Unkonon Sources"
Downloaded and Installed Titanium Backup
Ran Titanium Backup and Restored app's and data
DONE and running PERFECT !!!! Enjoy!!!

While I enjoy tinkering with devices and trying new methods, doing so can be time consuming. Compiling and witing this tutorial took me a considerable amount of time. I have also convieniently placed all the required files on an Ad-Free, Fast Download server so you can get them quick and don't need to hunt around. Mediafire was my server of choice but it is NOT free. I pay a monthly service charge to host on the server and this will also insure that the files are available now AND in the future. If you like my work and feel that it has helped you, I would appreciate a donation as a token of your appreciation. Simply click the button below or the "Donate to Me" button under my Username. Anything you can spare will be appreciated and go toward keeping the file sharing up and running as well as keep me interested in generating more tutorials. Thanks in advance!

Question and Answer Section
***** Reserved for Questions and Answers *********
2013-03-09 - I have been away from these forums for awhile now and apologize if I haven't been around to answer any questions. Just been too busy with other responsibilities. While I still own this device, I have moved on to another and have not kept up with development on the GTP-1010. I hope that many users have had success but I know from reading the posts that a few have struggled. Thank you to those that have attempted to assist in my absence. Honestly, without doing much with this device, I don't know how to answer some of the PM's I have received. This device was at the time considered "Legacy" in my mind and over 1 year later I don't believe anything has changed. With this said I will not be providing additional information or files and it does not make financial sense for me to continue paying for the "Pro" mediafire account. I will be canceling it today but have paid for it through 2013-04-01 at which time it will revert to a "free" account. I have no idea at this time what will happen to the links in my posts on that date but suggest that anyone interested, download everything before then. If time permits I will attempt to move everything over to a new server but I make no promises. The "free" version of Mediafire may still work but I vaguely remember paying for "pro" for a reason. I just don't remember why. Thanks for all the "thanks". I'm glad this has at least helped some people. Again, I appologize for not being around and for any issues with the links after April, 1 2013
******* One More for Good Measure ********
Bravo
Thank you for your hard work. Sent donation. Saved me hours of searching and coordinating the info. C'mon guys, how much time has this post saved you?
Hi i followed your instructions until i got to "Rooting" section.. the little problem issue i have is that the device i have doesn't have the Android Market..(i know i was shocked too) it has the Samsung Apps online but even that doesn't have the Titanium Backup App... any suggestions of how to install the Android Market? (btw love the instructions, nice and clear)

Sorry about the late response. Honestly this forum gets very little attention and I haven't been checking as often as I should.
That said ... I think you need to review post 4 which is an extension of the lessons learned in post 1. The firmware files ALL have the market built into them and following those steps should return you to a STOCK ROM. Make sure you backup any user files that you need before you begin. An internet search should allow you to find the .apk file for titanium backup. If you enable "unknown sources" in settings and get the app onto your device, clicking it should install the application. I'm not sure though if you finished the rooting step of stopped short or it. You NEED root to run Titanium,
Also, Keep in mind that as stated I performed these steps on a US version of the hardware and I don't offer that devices from other regions will be 100% compatible. But, from my research I believe most should be.
In summary, please provide me with additional details regarding your device and it's history. I'm sure we can get you squared away. There is always a Google App's package (GAPPS) that could be flashed to your device to get the Market but I am concerned about the fact that your's doesn't have it. This makes me think that without starting from a fresh ROM we would ultimately just be chasing our tails trying to troubleshoot other issues.
Thank you so much for replying.. i didn't think you'll reply to my post... but before i go to the next step.. i was playing around with it.. following your instructions on updating drivers and rooting etc... i then got stuck on "rooting" section hence me posting for help on getting the Titanium Backup... anyway i decided to upload couple of rugby videos so i can watch it later... i was in the middle of one video when all of sudden it stopped and turned itself off, i turned it back on and it stuck on the Samsung logo and it has been stuck on that since 24+ hrs ago after turning it on/off... on/off - i think i might have f'd it up...
I got it as a prize from a competition last year (2011) in Oct, and ever since i've been having problems with it.. let me know what other info you need me to provide!
much appreciated for the help!
THANKS SO MUCH! You made my day!

Honestly in order to support you I believe you should start from scratch. You should be able to get the device to download mode even if it is stuck on the Samsung Logo. Hold the power button until the unit turns off completely and then use the instructions to enter download mode. Then follow all the instructions in Post 4.
This will of course wipe your device totally clean so make sure you have everything backed up. Even though you can't get the system to boot you may be able to access your files by hooking it up to the PC. This is certainly true if you have already installed CWM. Look in the tutorial and find the section where I discuss "Mounts & Storage" from within CWM. This will allow you to copy off any important files. Then perform all the steps in Post 4.
That is really all I can offer as I don't know what you have done on the device to this point.

Yes! This is what worked 100% for me so I recomend all the steps. The first upgrade to latest froyo has repartition checked which essentially gives you a clean slate. The seperate GB steps insure you end up with root. Good luck!

The M7 is not equipped with a mircoSD card slot, only a virtual /sdcard (symlink to /data/media/0) ... So they'll either have to adb sideload or adb push the files to internal memory which is pointless at this stage since it will be wiped during bootloader unlock. Or drag n drop the files using mtp from twrp once it's installed on the phone.
3 ) UNLOCK BOOTLOADER
[...]
Now wait while phone is going to Factory reset.
Setup Android again on next boot.
4 ) FLASH RECOVERY
Now re-enable USB debugging in Android.
Using the same Windows command prompt, type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
again.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You could save a lot of time just force rebooting to bootloader (power + vol down) right after BL unlock/factory reset are completed so you don't have to setup the system you're going to wipe 2 steps later. USB debug anyway isn't required to fastboot flash recovery so it's not like booting back in system is mandatory before flashing recovery.
:good:
@alray : Thank you so much for help.
I'm lazy with baby waking up every night and did some awful copy-paste.
I correct all these right now.
Thanks.
I would highly recommend to use the official downloads of twrp, HTC drivers, roms and so on, you uploaded these files to your google drive and there is stuff in it nobody will ever need. And nobody knows if those files are in original condition. Strange thats the third time this year someone tries to get users to use their stuff (for a five years old device) there are already a lot of guides out there and several thousand people did it several thousand times without problems. Also you wrote that this would be official lineage but its unofficial, and for that there is already a thread here. The other two threads got deleted by mods because they tried to get users to use files from unknown suspects sources. Use android file host and maybe tell in los thread where those files are stored, whats the source and who made it.

Strange thats the third time this year someone tries to get users to use their stuff (for a five years old device) there are already a lot of guides out there and several thousand people did it several thousand times without problems. Also you wrote that this would be official lineage but its unofficial, and for that there is already a thread here. The other two threads got deleted by mods because they tried to get users to use files from unknown suspects sources. Use android file host and maybe tell in los thread where those files are stored, whats the source and who made it.

Because you are a senior member you know where to download everything.
But everyone is not like you.
So I tried to compile a ready-to-go pack for the newcomers, like I did for many devices by know.
This allows noobs to profit from custom ROMs and don't keep it esoteric.
Like you say, many downloads are just hacks, so I tried to bundle lowest size safe files.

For the official LOS ROM, tell LOS to store official builds. As they don't do it anymore, we must rely on personnal builds.
A lot of guides out there ? Made extensive search for cracking this phone, never found a step by step one.
Five year old device ? Still so good once unleashed. Custom ROMs are for these devices isn't it ?
@djibe89 Might be useful to point out in your opening post that the 20180420 build has DT2W enabled, but I'd like feedback from people with a functional battery if it makes their device reboot or not, similar to issues reported in the original kernel thread. I suspect my battery is on its way out. The 20180416 build is completely stock upstream LineageOS, no DT2W.
Thanks for the credit .

All the custom roms mentioned above are NOT for your phone variant.There were almost no development for the 802 branch at the peak of it's popularity and I didn't see anything new for this variant in the past 2 years or so. I wouldn't expect a 7.1 roms for this variant...
Maybe you'll have better luck searching on Asian forums

Hi.
After installing Android 7.1 Google Pay stop working on my phone. I have torn on NFC communication but terminal don't read my card from app. I don't turn on access to root. Any aidia how to solve this issue?
I have an M7 that I would like to update Android on however the above is a bit over my head. I have seen other sites and video showing this to only take a few minutes and not requiring a PC. Am I missing something? I just don't quite understand the process of it all.

Flashing without a PC can be done but not recommended. If something goes wrong (and thrust me, it happens pretty often) you'll be stuck with a bootlooping phone.
The guide at post #1 is all you need, what part exactly do you have problem understanding?

Thanks for that. I tried to go through it nice and slow making sure I understood each step. I got to where I needed to open a command window on the "flash" folder to which I must have powershell(?) installed as it gave me that option. After inputting 'adb devices' it listed a device but stated it was offline. This is where I am stuck as the steps after this do not work.
drivers win10
Hi, I have a basic ask. Do you know where to get Win 10 drivers? I can't run the installer HTCDriver_4.2.0.001 on my Windows 10 (version 1803).
It gives me the error: The driver installer is not supported for your operating system. Thanks for your help.

[GUIDE] Android 11 GSI With GApps and Root (magisk)

DON'T DO THIS ON A RAZER PHONE 1 OR IT WILL BE OMEGA BRICKED! ONLY DO THIS ON A RAZER PHONE 2!
This was just an experiment to see if i could cobble together some GSI install guides (that on their own are kinda confusing) to make something moderately more cohesive and understandable. Here's my moderately usable guide!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
VIDEO!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Things that work and don't work:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This section will update periodically as issues arise or fixes arise for said issues.
Note: Things that work: Bluetooth*, all sensors, audio, LTE/SIM/phone stuff, 120hz (you need to go into the settings > Phh treble settings > Misc features > Force FPS > [email protected])
Things that probably work: N/A
Things that don't work for some reason: SafteyNet with Magisk. All modules that I've used work tho...??! Verizon.
Remember, you can always flash back to stock if something doesn't work properly.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
FIXES!!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
AUDIO FIX!!! GO TO Phh Treble Settings > Qualcomm features > Use alternate audio policy.
Bluetooth audio stops working with this enabled. Disable it for Bluetooth audio. The audio fix doesn't apply to Bluetooth audio ether way.
BLUETOOTH FIX!!! Download a root file browser from the google play store and allow it to have root access. Delete BluetoothCommonRes.apk which is found in the overlay folder which is found in the vendor folder. After you delete BluetoothCommonRes.apk, rename the RazerAuraBluetoothRes.apk to BluetoothCommonRes.apk.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Important notes
-----------------------------------------------------------------
THIS IS ASSUMING YOU HAVE ALREADY UNLOCKED THE BOOTLOADER OF YOUR DEVICE AND HAVE GOTTEN A SERIAL NUMBER OUTPUT FROM CMD AFTER TYPING IN "fastboot devices" AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE TYPED IN "fastboot flashing unlock" AND "fastboot flashing unlock-critical".
***NOTE: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY HARD BRICKED DEVICES OR ANGRY PARENTS. PLEASE DO NOT COME BACK AT ME SAYING I AM STUPID AND BRICKED YOUR PHONE. YOU DECIDED TO DO THIS. PLEASE PROCEED WITH CAUTION AND DON'T SKIM***
ANOTHER IMPORTANT NOTE: The stock firmware is actually really good for unbricking devices. Razer made it easy to fix your bricked device. So basically, if you can get in to fastboot mode, (which you basically always can do) you can unbrick your device super easily.
AGAIN JUST PLEASE, MAKE SURE TO FOLLOW ALL THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND DONT SKIM OR ELSE YOU MIGHT BREAK SOMETHING!!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Introduction
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This is a quick and easy guide for how to install Android 11 on the Razer Phone 2. I'm kind of a noob here myself but I did this and it worked flawlessly. (also if you do run into any issues PLEASE don't count on me for troubleshooting tips (I'm not that great at that))
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Pre-requisites/Downloads
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Get the factory firmware for your phone. It's a good failsafe in case of a bootloop or a bad case of the phone not booting up. Download it here: P-SMR6-RC001-RZR-201022 (latest build at the time of writing)
Extract this with 7zip or WinRar (or windows. You will need 7zip or WinRar for the rest of this)
First you need the actual GSI. Get the latest version. (Make sure its not a pre-release). system-roar-arm64-ab-vndklite-gapps.img.xz is the version that you should get. The vndklite release will allow you to modify the system partition making it possible to get magisk. Note: If you want magisk, MAKE SURE TO COMPLETELY follow the magisk section of this guide aswell or else magisk will NOT install correctly and will NOT work.
This version also has GApps. It will give you Gmail, the google play store, google play services, etc.
Use 7zip or WinRar to extract this.
Your also gonna need the Trinity Kernel (v2). This gives you TWRP and I'm pretty sure you also need this to have the ability to boot up the phone (I may be wrong but it's required.)
use 7zip or WinRar to extract this.
You will also need this zip file made by arter97 I don't really know what it does but you need it. here is the download: Download.
Don't extract this.
Put all these in a known folder that you can access later.
Alright. Now that we're done with the downloads, time to test to make sure your ready to put this on your phone.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Making sure your computer is ready
-----------------------------------------------------------------
First things first. Go open your platform tools folder, shift-right click and open a PowerShell, or command prompt window there. Shut down your Razer phone 2 and turn it back on with the power and volume down buttons.
Plug it into your PC and type in
Code:
fastboot devices
you should end up with the serial number of the device. if you don't, follow Razer's instructions on how to install USB drivers and then come back here. Link to PDF.
If you get a serial number, close that and flash stock firmware by going into the aura-p-release-etc. folder, then opening flash_all.bat.
When it finishes and the screen goes black, hold the power and volume down buttons again to get back in to fastboot mode.
open back up the CMD/PowerShell platform tools window thing again.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Installing/Flashing
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In your CMD or PowerShell window, (while in fastboot mode on the phone) type
Code:
fastboot flash system <file name>
in the <file name> area, just drag and drop the system-roar-arm64-etc.img file into your command line. your command will look a little something like this:
Code:
fastboot flash system C:\Users\user\Desktop\system-roar-arm64-ab-gapps.img
Wait until it says complete or something similar like done or something and has no errors.
Then, time to flash the kernel. it should just be called boot.img.
We will be typing in:
Code:
fastboot flash boot <file name>
Do the same thing that you did for the last command which is drag and drop the boot.img file for the file name.
Again, wait until it says done or complete and has no errors.
After that is done, use the volume buttons to select reboot bootloader with your power button on your phone.
Go to recovery mode and swipe where it says to swipe.
Go to the wipe menu and then tap on format data. Type yes and then press enter/ok.
Go back to your computer and open file explorer.
Put the last zip file that I was talking about earlier (the f2fs thing) on the razer phone 2's internal storage. Head back to your phone, and press install.
Scroll down until you find the zip file and press it and install it. (ignore the errors that may or may not be there) After that, go back to the TWRP home screen (with the 8 options)
Go to the reboot menu, then reboot into recovery
Tap on format data and type in "yes" and tap ok. click on "don't install" because you don't need the TWRP app on your phone.
The phone will shut down. Turn it on normally and everything will work!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GET THESE THINGS IF YOU WANT 120Hz, GCam, and a SNAZZY RAZER LOGO.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To get 120Hz, you need to go into the settings > Phh treble settings > Misc features > Force FPS > [email protected].
If you want your Razer logo to light up again, use Logo+. here is a download: Logo+ APK
The default camera app sucks. Make sure to get GCam 7.4 from Cyanogen Mods (v8.0 is broken). you can get it here.
Download a root file browser from the google play store and allow it to have root access. Delete BluetoothCommonRes.apk which is found in the overlay folder which is found in the vendor folder. After you delete BluetoothCommonRes.apk, rename the RazerAuraBluetoothRes.apk to BluetoothCommonRes.apk.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Magisk
-----------------------------------------------------------------
So this part was pretty long-awaited. It half-passes SafteyNet and modules work! (at least all the modules that I've used.)
Make sure you have the vndklite variant. That is the only way that this will work.
1. Open up an adb/fastboot powershell/cmd/windows terminal window.
2. Type adb root and hit enter.
3. Type adb shell and hit enter.
4. Type mount -o remount,rw / and hit enter.
5. Type mv /bin/resetprop_phh /bin/phh-resetprop and hit enter.
6. Type phh-securize.sh and hit enter.
The phone should reboot after you approve the request (if there is one) and you are now able to install magisk!
MAKE SURE THAT THE SUPERUSER APP IS NOT THERE AFTER RUNNING phh-securize.sh.
Get specifically this version of Magisk. Download the zip file.
Boot into TWRP and tap on mount, and select everything (usb storage doesn't matter in this case. it never mounts either way.)
Transfer over your zip file via file explorer, and go back to your phone.
Tap install, then scroll down until you find the zip file and tap it. Swipe to flash and wait. After it is done, you can reboot!
You should see Magisk manager in your app drawer. Open that. It might ask you to install it, if so, install it. Allow apps from this source then install. Open it up. You should see that Magisk is installed. Update it and turn on Magisk hide.
If it passes SafteyNet, it's a miracle.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In case of failure
-----------------------------------------------------------------
If it starts bootlooping or is perpetually stuck at the razer logo, powered by android screen, go back into fastboot mode and run the flash_all.bat stock firmware thing. it will unbrick your phone automatically. Really make sure you don't skim if you try it again. If it did work (which it probably did), then have a good time with android 11!
There is one bug that has stopped me from going GSI. On every one I've tried, there is a game music bug that is common in many of the games I own. If the volume is set to below 50%, the music will cut in and out constantly. It resolves itself if you keep media volume above 50%. It may not be a deal breaker for everyone, but it was for me, as I use my RP2 heavily for games. Other than that, GSIs work beautifully. Thanks for the comprehensive guide!

All of The Room games, Battle Chasers: Night War, and most premium games that I've bought. For some reason, Monster Hunter Stories doesn't. It seems like mostly games that have more complex audio/music.

EDIT: Fix at the top of the thread
Ultimately at the end of the day I could not get Dolby Atmos and the RGB lighting on the back of the phone to work on GSI 10. Hopefully someone will come up with a work around for those 2 items in GSI 11.

I got the Razer logo working flawlessly with logo+. I didn't really see the appeal for Dolby Atmos as all it did was made it louder and made the audio clip more.
I did have success getting Atmos to work with this module: https://github.com/reiryuki/Dolby-Atmos-Razer-Phone-2-Magisk-Module

How can I get magisk on the phone though? it has Superuser pre-installed but it doesn't have support for modules and stuff (as far as I can tell). I really would like some info on how to install magisk if possible.

Actually, I may be misremembering. That may have been on a 10 GSI. I don't think I ever did get Magisk to work on an 11.

The unofficial LOS GSI just got updated with supposed Magisk support. I'm going to give it a try in a few.

Thank you. I got it all set up and mostly working well. I was wondering if you could try Minecraft and let me know if it will let you get to the actual login screen.
I cannot get flashing the Android 11 GSI to work.
I downloaded the latest factory image (MR6) and proceeded to install it. To do that, I had to copy the "fastboot.exe" from the SDK platform tools download to the "aura-p-release..." folder with the factory image.
I open a CMD line and type in "fastboot devices" which get me a string of numbers. Then I type in "fastboot flash system system-roar-arm64-ab-gapps.img.xz" which tries to install it but concludes with an error message, being 'Error: Last flash failed : Bad Buffer Size'.
I tried using different computers and cables, but I end up with the same thing. I'm able to flash the factory image just fine, but can't flash Android 11.

You forgot to extract it with winrar or 7zip. make sure it is a .img file and not a .xz file.
Wow. I spent close to 7 hours trying and trying again. But that's what I get when I don't read all the instructions. -____-
Thanks very much. It works perfectly.

Try going to wipe, then format data. That might fix the problem. If not, try everything again.
