Okay, now I know that there are other threads about this, but the issue is that none are specific to my problem. Either they are not for my phone, or my version is different or the thread is dead and with no replies. So I created a new thread.
Anyway, I was hoping that I could get a step by step procedure on how to root my phone and install a custom ROM.
The issue is, my KIES doesn't work (so help me with that also please) and moreover, I'm very new to all this so I don't quite get a few things.
Also, please tell me what are the best ROMs out there and if something does go wrong in the process, how do I un-brick my phone?
So I'm looking for active replies / repliers since I know I'll have a bunch of questions during the process.
Last, when I go to "about phone" on my phone it says "firmware version 2.2", but the little that I've looked up, people run 2.2.1. Does this mean my rooting process is different?
Thanks. And in case you want it, my kernel version is 2.6.32.9
Appreciate it.
rooting z4root
custom rom - pick a custom rom and follow instruction in that thread.
Your phone is already updated to 2.2 and that is the reason why kies doesn't show new updates. Our phone has 2.2 and not 2.2.1
If you use roms which doesnt have boot then it will not get hard bricked. soft brick can be fixed by reflashing.
What is the exact issue you are facing while using kies? Try a uninstall and reinstall. That should fix it
K, so I fixed KIES. I just had to update though, I was running on an older version. I didn't think a slightly outdated version would not detect my phone.. anyway never mind that.
So I don't really know what the best custom ROM is out there. could you suggest one? one that is fast (speed is really the priority), and not buggy, supports the apps that the stock ROM should. I'm willing to try three-four, so give me the names of the best ones out there.
Don't I need to root my phone before installing a custom ROM? If so, then I need to learn how to do that..
What do you mean it doesn't have a boot?
Well to figure out best ROm you will have to read up on each ROm. Each of them have separate thread where initial posts describe the properties of ROm. There are ROm comparison threads out there but that is just summary. I cant give you best choices. Everybody has different taste. Start with more popular ones, whose threads have more posts. More post -> more popular.
You can root using z4root.
Custom ROM are pre rooted normally so you need not root your phone before flashing custom rom

if speed is a prime consideration then i would suggest kyrillos rom..... fastest rom i ever used....... very less buggy.......
you can also flash lestatious rom..... it is damn fast and surprisingly stable!.....
and check dharam's rom collection too....... i'm using his ultra clean ultimate rom right now..... and it's good although since you are new i would recommend flashing a different rom from his collection.....
As for rooting.... you don't need to root before flashing a custom rom....
And in case you need any information about any of the features or anything.... just post it here ....... i'lll try to help you in whatever way i can.,.....

Hey i would suggest u to go for Indroid 4.3. I m using this and have seen many users jumping from lestatious and kyrollis to indroid.
As a begginer, u will also get many help in Indroid thread.
Z4root doesnt work in Froyo, if u wanna root, choose superone click.
U dont need kies to work, Use Odin to flash ur fone.
Make sure to learn processes better by reading through forums, if u dont wanna brick ur fone.
Hey!! I would suggest Indroid 4.3 or Kyrillos 5.6. They are fast as hey have lagfix.
And no you don t have to root your phone before installing a custom ROM. But if you want to root, use superoneclick to root.
And as for bricking, you can avoid hard brick by installing a ROM that does not have bootloader. Bootloader is a piece of code that runs before any operating system starts. So you should avoid flashing bootloader.
As for soft bricks, you can just reflash to come out of the soft brick.
okay so i was doing a bit of reading up and i realised the following :
1)First i need to download :
a) Odin (please post version number i have to get for my i5801 (or is it just one thing for all phones?) or a link please.)
b) some backup software. now i downloaded titanium backup, but it won't open because it says my phone is not rooted. so help me go about this.
c) a custom ROM. I think i'll start off with kyrillos rom since i've been told it's the fastest and very less buggy. i'll then move on to Dharam's ROM if i don't like kyrillos rom because Dharam seems to be a very active user, and quite friendly, and i feel he can solve the issues well. after that i'll try Indroid.
d) I also need superone click.
Question : Where do i download these? directly on my phone or on my computer?
2) I can increase my internal storage by partitioning a part of my SD card. Now I have a 4 GB SD card and i barely use it, so i don't mind giving upto 1GB of it. Please suggest the perfect amount. whether 1GB will be too much, or whether 500MB would be too less.
3) some apps do not work with custom ROMs. The app that i really want is 4shared. It's working currently on my phone with the stock ROM, so if someone can check if that will also work on the three ROMs that i mentioned.
4) soft bricking isn't much of an issue, but it's better i avoid it. so can someone give me a rather up-to-date guide (or link) on rooting, because the other ones are REALLY old. at least 4-5 months old and there have been some updates after that.
5) I can also overclock my phone. And from what I read up, SetCPU seems compatible with the above ROMs. And after flashing my phone with a custom ROM, my phone is automatically rooted. Correct me if I am wrong.
6) Flash player isn't available for our processor (V6). Since this is a hardware issue, there's no way i can make it work on some other ROM, can I? Because flash is a rather important software..
So that's it, I guess. Please add anything if i missed out anything.
PS : Does anyone know of any software using which I can download YouTube videos? Because the YouTube app kind of sucks, and buffering takes time since I don't have WiFi.
Wow!! Those are a lot of questions.
1) Link for ODIN.
ODIN>http://goo.gl/nCxCw
OPS FILE>http://goo.gl/ORin0
As for the backup software, Titanium backup is the best out there. As it can backup all the apps and all the settings. Yes you have to be rooted. So root and use.
And for rooting, use this tutorial,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011555
Don t worry about the oldness. This works. The link for superoneclicjk is available in that post as well.
Yes. Kyrillos is a good ROM. As it is prelagfixed and offer good internal memory as well after you partition your SD. Sizes, 512 MB ext4 and 128 MB linux swap. Rest of the memory you can use for storage.
As far as overclocking is concerned, in Kyrillos, you again have to flash a new kernel if you want OC.
And for the flash problem, only adobe can solve that problem.
And oh yes, most of the custom roms are prerooted. So after flashin you don t have to root again.

The rom is downloaded on your pc and flashed through it using odin.
I don't know any apps that work on stock rom and not on custom rom..... and 4shared works on kyrillos and indroid..... i've used it myself..
Most custom roms are already rooted and setcpu is the best app for setting CPU frequencies.
And as you said flash player isn't compatible with armv6 processors like ours.... so unless adobe makes it compatible no custom rom can do anything.
and for downloading youtube videos i'll suggest an app called you tube downloader or tube-X.......
Hope this helps...
Kernel
I flashed the indroid 4.0 Rom with Odin, and in short I will probably try to flash the indroid 4.3 Rom.
One question however, More and more I read about "kernel"(eg to get the 1% battery thing).
I know the kernel is the core of the operating system, but I don't understand how to use/apply it on my phone. Is the kernel something I have to flash separatly from the Rom, or is it included in the Rom?
If you need to install / flash it seperatly, where can I find the different kernels, and which one is recommended for my phone (Samsung Galaxy 3 Apollo)?
Hope someone can answer!
thnx

The kernel is included in the ROM itself. There are different kernels with different functionalities. For eg : - Most of the kernel that come with the ROMS are non-OC. So, if you want to overclock you phone, you have to flash the required kernel after flashing the ROM. The procedure is same using ODIN. Here s the link to the kernels.

Sorry for replying so late guys. Had a bit of an issue with the internet. Lightening struck somewhere near my house so it was down for a few days.
Anyway, thanks for all your help. I'll try to root+flash my phone day after as I have exams for two more days.
I'll post here if I have any other questions, but thanks a LOT for all your answers and help. But btw, what is the 1% battery mod?
Uh, I was rooting my phone. just one error. Superoneclick gets stuck at "running rageagainstthecage" and accoring to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011555 i should set touchwiz as the default launcher. how do i do that?

if u have any other launcher like adw then go to settings > application > Adw launcher (for example) and press clear default.
Then press the home key, It should ask u to set detault launcher. Just click on the checkbox below and select touchwiz launcher.
Tell me if it works or not.
No I do not have any other launcher installed. At least it's not showing up there.. but i did try using the more latest version. 1.9.5. that seemed to work just fine. man, i was so scared before rooting this wondering what if something goes wrong. but that was easy
Titanium backup now and maybe flashing a new rom tomorrow (or in a couple of days, after my exam.) Thanks though! =)

1st step done successfully...congo...welcome to this amazing world.
I would suggest, go for indroid but follow all the steps properly and read the forums for all the problems.
and yeah we also get awesome themes and more memory /system!!
custom roms are faster with better battery backup.
currently on indroid 6!!
I have bought set cpu to overclock my nexus to 1.2 GHX (is this a recommended speed or should i go higher) but it only goes up to 1 GHZ. How do i make it go up to 1.2 GHZ?
Did you flash a new kernel as well? The stock kernel doesn't OC. You need to download one like matr1x or netarchy's
no im on the stock rom still i don't knwo how to flash a kernel...is it a hard/dangerous thing to do?
Not hard, not dangerous. I suggest you take a read of the stickies both in the general and the development forum. They explain it all in detail and very easy to follow as most of them are step by step.
ok so i just looked at the matrix kernel and basically to put it ont here do i just download the version i want, put it on root of sd card, recover in clockwork and then isntall zip from sd? Is this correct or is there something else i should be doing?
Correct, download the zip, put on sd card, boot to clockwork and flash. Upon reboot you can now use setcpu to change whatever settings you like. I believe it boots up @ 1.2GHz by default
any specific stable kernel u recommend? i was looiking at matrix by mathkid and not sure what version to even use. What do u use? does it matter if im on stock rom and such
I use 5.0 CFS. Try and see what works best for you. I don't believe you need a custom ROM, but don't hold me to that. I do recommend switching over to a non stock rom for the performance improvements and added functionality they provide. Totally your call though
also what is the difference between cfs and bfs?
http://www.stackednotion.com/2010/06/04/what-are-bfs-and-cfs
ok is there a rom u can point me to that is stable with performance increase? also does a new rom usually come with a different kernel? To flash a rom is it the same deal? Can i do so through ROM manager?
Which nexus do you have?
non 4g I9020A
I personally have the 4G and can't really help you from first hand experience. I have heard people say good things about that "oxygen" rom. I would try out whatever looks best to you and go from there
ok thanks a lot man
No problem. If you run into any snafu's let us know.... Also feel free to hit that thanks button too It's always welcome!

OK so you need a ported rom for Turkish.
you should download the rom you need ( it may have a bug where the first call has no audio, this is because its really for a different phone)
then get the gtg ultimate unbrick from the super thread in the development section.
then use Odin to flash the Rogers root kernel. the reboot may take over 5 minutes. if it gets stuck use the unbrick pachage to recover the phone, you will be on 2.2.1 if you do this so the root kernel will be different.
if it goes well and you don't need to unbrick then you will go into recovery ( hold the volume buttons and power till you see "Samsung" in white letters) once in recovery flash zip from sdcard, choose zip, find the rom.zip and flash it.

Did you unlock your tablet? if not you have to do that first! then download hundsbuah kernel(or a kernel that supports 1.7GHZ) here: http://www.mediafire.com/?5mr686tby6zxsi8
it is a flashable zip so you need twrp recovery!
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T
Im guessing your new to this so make sure you realise that u'll lose your warrenty if you unlock the tablet, if your still on 4.0.2 make sure you look into nvflash.
I appreciate you guys helping me out. It really means a lot!
Anywho... yes, my tablet is Unlocked. I thought by mentioning it's rooted it would be obvious that it would be unlocked. I guess I'm wrong.
What do I do AFTER I flash Hundsbuah? Which safe ROM do I flash next?
Do you guys think I can make it higher than 1.7 GHz safely?

I'll answer your last question first. 1.7 is as high as I have seen this tablet oc'ed and it remain stable, and many people can't even go that high. And with Hundsbauh's kernel 1.7 is the max.
I am running CROMI-X version 4.6.9 and it is an awesome custom a ROM. I have used both of those through several versions with great results.
That said, with CROMI you need to flash it first, then flash hundsbauh's kernel after you have booted into the rom once and allowed it to stabilize. Also, be sure when you flash the custom ROM the first time that you do a full wipe from twrp first.
Finally, there is a new version of CROMI in the works that will allow you to flash Hundsbuah's kernel at the same time you flash the rom. It is due out in a few days.
Whatever you do, read, read and read some more about the rom/kernel you choose BEFORE you flash. Many people have jumped in half-cocked and bricked their tablets.
Let me know if you have any questions (I am sure you have many).
Kindest Regards

Thank you so much pastor Bob for the detailed description of how CROMI and Hundsbuah works!
I actually do have many questions as a noob:
1. -How would I do a full wipe of my Tablet using bootloader?
-To branch out the question even more, what is a bootloader? and why does it matter so much? (seen many people saying to NOT full wipe from bootloader when flashing custom ROMs.)
-Did this unlock my device? (mine is apparently, JOP40D.WW_epad 10.6.1.15.3-XXXXXXXXX)
2. What the heck is SuperSU for anyways? I have it and it doesnt do anything and it keeps popping even when i do a full wipe.
3. Can you create a NANDroid backup without having to do it by using custom recovery?
What is Titanium Backup for? what is it so popular?
4. Lastly, is this a good instructions to follow in order to FINALLY overclock my tablet? ---->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223492

Doing a full wipe is done by the recovery kernel (twrp) its simply formats the internal sdcard like you would a usb flash drive on windows.
As for the boot loader, all computers have them. Their task is to fetch the kernel from memory, in our case it can fetch the android kernel and boot or it can fetch the recovery kernel. Choosing wipe from bootloader will wipe both android and recovery afaik but ive never done it.
Supersu is an application that manages access to / "root" or the lowest level of the android filesystem. Rooting your device allows applications to access / with read write permissions, Supersu and others manage applications that ask for access to / .
For a NANDroid without a custom recovery, you can backup whole partitions with NvFlash, but im not sure how or if this is possible with adb/fastboot. Titanium backup allows you to "freeze" an appplications and save the files so even if you uninstall it, it can be recovered by titanium backup.
Simply unlock your tablet, install twrp, find and flash a custom kernel and download trickstermod or the likes and you can overclock within the range the developer has designed the kernel to allow for.
Good luck mate
EDIT : By the way some of our devices can overclock far past 1.7ghz and 650mhz gpu. Ive flashed a couple of tf700 kernels and 1800mhz and 700mhz is completely stable, i saw a thread somewhere in general of someone who compiled a kernel with an overclock of 2ghz but only some tf300ts cacn handle it. It all depends on our cpu revision

EDIT : By the way some of our devices can overclock far past 1.7ghz and 650mhz gpu. Ive flashed a couple of tf700 kernels and 1800mhz and 700mhz is completely stable, i saw a thread somewhere in general of someone who compiled a kernel with an overclock of 2ghz but only some tf300ts cacn handle it. It all depends on our cpu revision

Thank you for your response, JoinTheRealms. Is THISa good custom kernel that would be able to let me overclock ----> http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2223492
Will that be the procedure to follow? what does trickstermod do exactly? Are there better software alternatives?
Note: Ive already unlocked and installed TWRP.

Sorry 404 on the page you linked, im assuming it was this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223492 which if you scroll down, you'll find this: http://d-h.st/lmM this is a package of kernels that work with Cromi and stock/ or stock based roms. This kernel package is exactly the same as the one in the tf300t thread for cromi. When you flash it with twrp, ull get a nice gui pop up (Aroma interface) u'll then get the choose between tf300t and tf700 kernels, only a few from the tf700 are compatible (Hint: the second to last is the best).
Your not going to realistically see a difference between tf300t and tf700 kernels. If you get around 7000 in quadrant your performing the same as most tf700s with custom kernels.
After that the last step is to download an overclocking app, my personal favorite is trickstermod, there are probably hundreds so just give a few a try

Thank you for your replies, JoinTheRealms! I really appreciate it. I have "No-frills CPU" app. I assume that's one of the overclocking app that's acceptable.
ONE QUESTION though: Do I ALWAYS need to wipe to factory reset every time I flash a new kernal???
By the Way, I decided to flash this ROM I got from one of the links someone shared here: http://www.mediafire.com/?5mr686tby6zxsi8
I was able finally overclock my tablet to 1.7GHz! =)))) (Note: it does something weird everytime it boots up. The asus logo goes 'burzerk' for like half a second. Weird...)
Would you happen to know something better, in terms of performance, visual effects and stability?? hehe please do share! =)

Yeah no frills is good, you can try pimpmyrom it has alot of tweaks and customizations for the kernel/ os.
No you dont need to wipe anything after a kernel flash, only when flashing a rom do you need to use 'factory restore' (it just wipes system and data) and this doesn't apply to all roms it just depends on what the roms based on. e.g you can flash cromi over a stock rom without wiping system and data (because cromi is stock based, just with modifications. There are a few others that full into this category). its good practice to wipe dalvik and cache after every rom flash though.
Dont worry about the artifacts while booting, ive ran that kernel for weeks without issue.
Id say this kernel is the best in terms of performance (overclocks to 1.8ghz, ive benchmarked over 7000 with quadrant) http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=22945124161945688 (its by Surdu Petru for 4.2 bootloader and stock based roms)
If your feeling adventorous give ubuntu on your tf300t a try, im currently dual booting android 4.1 with ubuntu 12.10 works ver well

All I gotta do is synchronize it with my google account to avoid having to download every single app i had for my tablet correct?
wow... I didnt even know you can dual boot.
I think ill stick with hundsbuah's for now and see if i further need to upgrade.
Thank you for your input JoinTheRealms!

Lollipop Upgrade ...
Guys,
I am thinking of trying this, the idea of needing to root to setcpu is a bit concerning for me at the moment (I have rooted all my other phones except this note edge)...
If this stock upgrade has deepsleep issues, whats the process to downgrade ? an i just take the stock 4.4.4 file and push that through odin or do i need new PIT files etc ?
Cheers
Gary

Big Thx
Just an note to people, I ran this upgrade earlier today, I have had no issues with deep sleep and thus far the ROM is very stable for me (I had some minor issues with Play Services which an upgrade seems to have resolved).
Big thanks to the guys who made this possible !

Hi mate,
first of all many thanks [email protected] for the first lollipop Rom for the 915F/FY
the first step is, dowload KIES for the device drivers and install it. Reboot your PC/Laptop. Now you make this steps
1. make a backup from your Rom in the recovery (phone off and 3 finger combo -power/home key and loudness up at the same time-), in addition you can backup your calls, sms and so on in the phone settings/samsung account
2. download the the files from the Rom page (firmware, Odin, cwm recovery ánd the autoroot by chainfire). I prefer one new folder (you can create it of your choice on you PC/Laptop)
3. phone off and with the finger combo to recovery and do a factory reset
4. phone off and now with 3 fingers -power/home key/loundness down to the download mode. Push on time the loudness up key
5. open Odin 3.09 and connect your phone with the PC. You must see the COM and added
6. open your folder with the firmware download and put the AP file to AP, the BL file to BL, the CP file to CP and the home CSC file to CSC. Have a look that ONLY autoreset and time is checked
7. push START
8. now you can drink a cup of coffee and wait until the phone reboots. This will take serveral minutes (since this is lollipop, it can take up to 10 minutes)
9. if the flash is ready you see the first setting. Do all settings there and you have Lollipop on your phone.
now to the root:
first have a look in the SettingsSystem/About device that the developer options are ready. Push 7 times to the buildnumber and you have it. Go to the dev options and choose the USB debugging. Go back to the Security and have a look that Reactivation lock is unticked also the Knox security is disable
1. unzip the cf-autoroot file
2. phone off and go to the download mode
3. open the unzipped autoroot file and set the .tar file to AP in Odin
4. Push START
5. now wait up the reboot. Have a look in the App drawer and search the superSU App. If all is ok you have root on your device but KNOX is triggered to 0x1
For the recovery make the points 2-4 as the root
now you can download this App or any other CPU controler from the Play Store and set the min. freq. to 300 mhz
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ryosoftware.cputweaks&hl
thats all, now you have a rooted Note Edge with Lollipop
kind regards
SetCPU
I had the same Problem with cpuspeed, SetCPU from Play Store did the job. Hope I could help
