hello i am a noob.
i have rooted my phone using ClockworkMod Recovery method.

If you want to flash a custom rom you`ll have to put your rom zip on your sd card. You plug your tab into your computer. Then you`ll need to open E:. Copy and paste your zip there. Then you have to boot into recovery. Turn you tab of. When its off you hold down your volume up key and your power key. Then your phone will boot into recovery mode. From there you can choose the option. Install zip from sd card. Then select your zip. and wait till its done downloading. Its recommend to factory reset your phone before you install your zip. Its also recommend to make a backup with the app: Titanium backup. Im not sure if everything is correct because i dont use my tab alot.
thanks

I successfully rooted my cousin's AT&T infuse 4g using this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkD34zvS2P4&feature=related
Now I'm trying to do this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozNVeGPUlU8
I did everything and once I go into the 3E recovery... the "reinstall package" option DOES NOT APPEAR.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!
You need to flash a custom kernel using heimdall or sgs kernel flasher and that will put recovery on there for you

Bro bro br bro....thats doing it the hard way. Flash a custom kernel through odin or heimdale and that's it, you don't need that guide anymore.
Using modified 3e recovery is an old method (that can still be used, by the way). There is an easier way, though.
Assuming that you already have root, use SGS Kernel Flasher (from Play Store) to flash a custom kernel zImage that already has CWM recovery included. Doing it this way instead of Odin or Heimdall in download mode, you won't trip the custom binary download counter.

You won't have to remove anything that you've done so far. I'll be glad to point you in the right direction. Before I give you links, etc., though, is the phone completely stock (2.2 firmware) or has it been upgraded to Gingerbread (2.3.6)? Also, what is the end goal? Is there a specific firmware that you would like to flash? All of that plays into what kernel you need to flash.

Its 2.3.6 and I rooted it by following everything in the 1st video of my first post.
The goal is to run this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705503
My cousin just wants it to run smoothly since he complains about how it crashes and has to do battery pulls A LOT. He was the one who picked the rom (goal) since it appeals to his eyes and likings. He doesnt know much about all this stuff.
So he wants to run that rom ^^^ and I guess I want a kernel thats stable and doesnt need to be highly overclocked to run good.

Since you've found SGS Kernel Flasher, getting CWM recovery will be easy. Extract the zip file for the kernel that you download from HERE. Using SGS Kernel Flasher, browse to the zImage inside of the zip file, and then flash. The phone will reboot, and before it boots back into Gingerbread, a lady robot voice will talk to you for a few minutes while Voodoo lagfix is enabled. This is Zen Arcade's Infusion-Z kernel and it comes with red CWM. Be sure to thank Zen for his kernel HERE. The phone's Gingerbread firmware will run well on this GB kernel, but you'll be using it just to get recovery to flash a rom.
Flashing the ICS rom that you have chosen will take two flashes, since you're coming from Gingerbread.
Download the rom zip. Put the rom zip on the internal sdcard, and then shut the phone off. Then, hold the power button and both volume buttons. When you see the Samsung logo, release the power button and continue to hold the volume buttons until you enter red CWM recovery. Choose "install zip from sdcard" (using the volume keys) and press power to select. Then select "choose zip from sdcard" and choose the rom zip. Confirm your choice and flash. When the flash is finished, go back to the main menu and select "reboot system now".
At this point, the phone will hang at a screen with the Galaxy S logo and won't boot anything. That's normal. Hold the power button and both volume keys. The phone will turn off for a moment. Keep holding power and both volume keys. When you see the Samsung logo, release the power button and continue to hold the volume keys until you are in blue CWM recovery. In blue recovery, choose "mounts and storage"; then "format system", "format data", and "format cache". Go back and select "install zip from sdcard" and "choose zip from sdcard" to flash the rom zip again. After the rom flash, go back and select "reboot system now". The phone should boot into the new rom.

What is the custom binary download counter. I noticed that my count was at 6 when I went into download mode yesterday. Does it turn into a pumpkin when that number reaches xxx. Thanks.

It just counts how many times you've flashed something with a custom kernel in download mode. In theory, AT&T or Samsung would use this to determine whether or not the warranty is void on the device due to customer tinkering. To reset it to zero, you can use my UCLB3 Unbrick in Odin. To keep from triggering it, just avoid using download mode to flash anything that involves a custom kernel. If you use CWM recovery, the Infuse Toolkit, SGS Kernel Flasher, or flash_image with adb (or in a terminal emulator app) to flash a custom kernel, the counter isn't triggered.

Thanks jscott30! You've helped me a lot! I've been trying to root my Infuse for months and doesn't work, now with your method it worked perfectly! But the rom still have some "side-effects" but it's still great! What good stable roms you recommend?
I try to turn my tab plus P6200 to CM10, unfortunately my tab stuck when wiping data...
What I do it before this...
I copy cm10, gapps and also clockworkmod into my SDcard..
After that I enter to CWM....
And I install CM10 and gapps...
I wipe cache and wipe data...
I gt stuck when wiping data...
After that, my tab won't boot...
It just stuck on 'Samsung galaxy tab plus' screen...
Anyone can help me?
Thanks..
This has been answered a lot of times before in various threads.
Before you start doing anything....
the most important things to know are:
1. How to use ODIN for desktop (or Heimdall, if yout prefer).
2. How to properly root and install CWM.
3. How to use CWM.
the important things to have handy in a directory in your SDCard:
Mobile recovery (so you're not caught with your pants down while away from a desktop):
1. Rooting files for ICS (non permanent touch CWM and the CWM install file for ROOT).
2. CWM installable Honeycomb or ICS original ROM.
3. CWM installable CWM 6.0.27
4. CM9, CM10 or CM10.1 whatever it is you fancy.
5. Mobile ODIN
If your near a desktop (in a flash drive, or if it's your own computer):
1. Latest installation of KIES.
2. ODIN 1.85
3. Latest ICS or HC MD5's
4. Odin flashable CWM 6.027
NOW.... to recover from your problem.
1. Be sure to have KIES installed on your PC.
2. download the latest firmware from here: http://live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=GT-P6200
3. turn of your tab and turn it on while pressing the down volume button. Keep holding power and the (-)vol button until the bootscreen. let go of the power button and keep holding the (-)vol button until you get into "Download Mode"
4. Extract the Firmware. (unzip the firmware in a directory. you'll now have an xxxx.md5 file)
5. open Odin. plug you tab to the computer. 1st bar under ID:COM will turn yellow.
6. click PDA and navigate to and select the md5 file you have extracted.
7. Click start.
in a few minutes you'll have an HC or ICS stock P6200.

Man, you wipe data over the ICs original recovery????? if yes, your tab as bricked, and you need to return to service the tab...
Wiping from stock recovery ICS causes your tab to be bricked.. weren't you aware of that before? But wiping ICS with CWM is safe and stock recovery of HC is safe

Yes phone booted in bootloader it say FAST BOOT & STATUS UNLOCKED, I can't enter in recoverymod, as I enter in recovery mod I get dead android with red ! mark.
When I purchased this phone (a few days back) I had Gingerbread, I updated it n due to low signals (I think) ICS installed properly but when it came to installing applications it got hanged, now I can't run applications properly as it reboot if I try to open any application.
I again try to update it from wifi from ICS 4.0.4 to JB 4.1 ( As new update was available) but after complete download of JB when it started to installing I got that dead android sign with RED ! mark.
Do you have any idea what happened wrong?

You don't have a recovery and need to flash one using the toolkit..
1. DOWNLOAD CUSTOM RECOVERY... 2. OPEN TOOLKIT.. ADVANCED MENU/BOOT RECOVERY (this is only temporary) 3. CHANGE SCREEN SETTINGS TO ZERO (or the screen will go black and it's a pain) 4. MOUNT USB... 5. COPY RECOVERY ZIP FROM COMPUTER TO PHONE.. 6. USE RECOVERY TO INSTALL FROM SD / FLASH THE RECOVERY YOU COPIED.. 7. ENJOY YOUR CUSTOM RECOVERY..

Please guide me a little bit details as I'm new user of Nexus S & Thanks in advance..
You said install custom recovery right? now I have downloaded 2 files for Clockworkmod recovery 6.x.x.x. one is in .ZIP format & other is in .img format. Now the question is
1). Do I have to flash recovery by using this advance option of Nexus Root Tool Kit by clicking on FLASH PERMANENT & then clicking on recovery & then giving the path of CMW 6.x.x.x.IMG and then after giving the path clicking on ROOT & checking the "And also flash custom recovery" option?
2). Can I install .ZIP file CWM 6.x.x.x.ZIP by just putting it into the SD card of Nexus S, turning the phone on into RECOVERY mode and the selecting INSTALL .ZIP from SD card (Something like this) then locating CWM 6.x.x.x.ZIP & it will install it automatically?
I installed CWM recovery in my Samsung Galaxy Gio a year back & then installed Cyanogenmod in that phone but I have forgot the procedure but I think I did it like I entered into recovery mode by pressing some buttons & then install zip from SD (I think I did like this but not sure).
P.S: I can enter into recovery when I see DEAD ANDROID with RED ! then I press volume up + power button 2 times then it shows me stock recovery.
One last thing to ask, you said CHANGE SCREEN SETTING TO ZERO? What does it means? Screen setting of Laptop or Mobile (Brightness or what?)
Thank you very much for your support :highfive:

Option 2.. flash recovery zip... The screen setting is in the temporary recovery.. If it times out the screen will go black and you will have to use the Toolkit to reboot your phone.. If you use the recovery in my signature, it has usb mounting support.. other CWM's may not..

One more question just to conform something, can I use this Philz Touch 5.06.1 (Latest) on my STOCK ROM? I'm having ICS 4.0.4 build number IMM76D, can I flash this recovery? I have remember the old days when I flashed CWM in my Samsung Galaxy Gio, they had 4 types of CWM. One was for some RAW disk format, another was for EXT4 (Something like that).
Can I install it for I.C.S 4.0.4? Do I have to root my Nexus S I9023 after that or is it already rooted? that UNLOCK means my phone is rooted? What about the Super user application? DO I have to install in separately? Can I install Cyanogenmod after install this recovery or should I have to install Super user before installing Cyanogenmod? I have remember when I install Cyanogenmod on my Galaxy Gio, the Super User was already there..
Lots of questions for you again but these are just to conform that I'm leading towards right direction, please answer so that I must start flashing Philz Touch 5.06.1.
Thanks in advance :highfive:

1. YES
2. NO, unlocked is not rooted and you'll need a super user.. Most new (4.2.2) custom's have this pre-installed.. otherwise use a .zip or the recovery may have it..??
3. Click the link at the bottom of my signature.. There is a chart for roms.. have a look before you flash..

But you missed an answer.. what recovery are you using to flash these? Are you 4g?
Hi, this is my first time rooting and installing a custom rom onto my phone and I just wanted make sure I didn't forget anything of do anything stupid...
Alright so I have a SG3, the Videotron Variant on 4.3 stock rom
I downloaded the drivers for my phone, am using the USB cable, and have installed Odin on my computer.
I followed this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771687
and I downloaded the "Videotron image"
my following steps would be to
"Extract the root66 tar file from the .7z file you downloaded.
Put phone into download mode [ with phone off, hold vol. down + home + power ], connect to computer and open Odin.
once in odin click the PDA field and select the root66 tar you downloaded.
Leave Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checked.
click start and
when done let phone reboot."
and third of all, i'd install ClockworkMod recovery then grab Rom Manager from the Play store and in the menu select to install ClockworkMod Recovery and then install a custom rom from there
Am I missing any steps? For example I was reading about the OTA update section and I didn't understand anything...
Thank you!
Hey, i am no expert but i can tell u one thing a lot of things happened with me when i tried to flash through odin. All sorts of error popped up and i had to search the internet for 2days to get it solved. Hence i would advice you to not go through odin. For custom roms i dont think you have to be rooted. I flashed my gts6102 via cwm my first time and i dont think i had rooted it before hand. Try to look for a flashable zip file for rooting and flash it via cwm

Don't you need a battery pull?
Try Framaroot and then install rom manager and load cwm from there.
Hey, i went into boot loop after an odin flash and got "invalid argument" error since my data partition could not be mounted. I found a zip file to flash via cwm recovery that install superuser.apk and the su file in bin from xda. So i have recovered from the odin problem and have a custom rom xduosv3, rooted and running currently on my gt s6102
Sent from my GT-S6102 using xda app-developers app
