-1-About this post-
This thread post is an overall tutorial post on how to update your GT-P6210's firmware to the latest version, Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS). This post is only for the WiFi edition of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus (GT-P6210), if you have a different Galaxy Tab, I suggest you NOT follow any of the details explained in this OP. If you happen to find another method of rooting and obtaining ICS with a recovery on your device-- congratulations! . While that is cool, this guide still proves to be the most sufficient, stable, and overall safest way to flash the upgrade without any bad effects.

Intro
garyd9 originally ported ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.0.x to the Tab 7 Plus (all variants) in late 2011. Gary's since moved on to bigger and better things, and so has ClockworkMod Recovery. As of ClockworkMod Recovery version 6.0.0.x backups and restores should be faster, take up less space (due to file-level deduplication), and there's a swanky new look (though a bit iOS-y).
wtf is "recovery" anyways?
Recovery mode is a minimal, alternative mode of booting which allows you to install software from zip files, backup/restore your device, and perform low-level operations like factory reset and formatting partitions. All Android devices have a recovery mode (it's part of the stock AOSP environment), but the default recovery mode is very limited. For example, it only allows you to flash zips which have been signed by the vendor's private key.
ClockworkMod Recovery was developed by Koushik Dutta (@koush), and is much more flexible... If you want to flash CyanogenMod, you MUST have a non-stock recovery. Right now that means ClockworkMod Recovery.

P6210/P6211/P6210L
Heimdall-flashable image (6.0.1.0): Mediafire (md5: e71feb63ee44a7e809b6c2e7ae6d6e7d)
Flashing with Heimdall
I recommend flashing with Heimdall; it's open source and cross platform, whereas Odin is a leaked internal tool from Samsung, and only works on Windows. I absolutely cannot give guidance on using Odin. As of this time I recommend using Heimdall 1.3.1 (1.3.2 has a known bug which prevents flashing some files from completing successfully).
You can use the GUI (heimdall-frontend), or flash from the command line. In Linux it's easy:
Unplug your tablet from USB
Turn your tablet off
Hold Volume Down and press the power button, keep holding Volume Down for 5 seconds
Plug your tablet back into the computer
Type:
Code:
sudo heimdall flash --recovery p6200-clockworkmod-6.0.0.8.img
After that you should now have ClockworkMod Recovery installed.
Booting into CWM
There are a few ways to get into ClockworkMod Recovery:
Using adb, type: adb reboot recovery
From CyanogenMod's power menu: hold down the Power button for a few seconds, then navigate to Reboot -> Recovery.
With the tablet off, hold Volume Up and press power, keep holding Volume Up for 5 seconds
Disclaimer
I've tested backing up and restoring to CM9 and stock a few times, and it seems to work well. But please back up your stuff with other applications, like Go Backup or Titanium Backup just in case something goes wrong with restoring.

Subbing for updates on the permanent CWM. I used the zip for an older CWM from the HC root/recovery thread, but touch recovery would be pretty cool.
Oh my god these torrents are painful. Can you PM me a dropbox link to the files and I'll host them? I have Fios and a server, don't mind being the main seed.
Really have to flash stock HC before flashing ICS?

OK I see. But I have the original, stock ROM on my device. I haven't flashed it before, didn't use any custom ROMs.
Can't I flash ICS somehow to keep my apps and datas?
Just Odin over that then. It shouldn't rid of any data. Nandroid like I said just in case.

lol The work done by the team has been tremendous! :fingers-crossed: but these torrents are 0 of 0 seeds and peers, and I absolutely need just stock HC so I can at least OTA ICS. Anyone have an idea what I can do? I'm gonna leave my torrent client on but it doesn't look too promising. Thanks

Just wanted to say thanks for the write up and the files! The upgrade to ICS went smooth like butter! The tab runs so nice with ICS on it, much more responsive and fluid. I had stock HC, only rooted and I was able to just drop the ICS firmware right on top via odin, no problemo. I hit start and walked away, came back to "Optimizing Applications". Did the CWM and Rooted. Loaded up Apex ICS launcher, finally!! Nice job!
I want to install Cyanogenmod on my i5801 running froyo. Looking for a simple & clean method.
After hours of surfing, I have reached these two tutorials:
android.gs / update-galaxy-3-i5801-apollo-cyanogenmod-7-2
newtechie . com / 2012 / 01 / how-to-install-cyanogenmod-7-on-samsung.html
Which one is the recommended way? During my search, I learnt of something called Clockworkmod. Is there any need to first have CWM on my phone? Are there any prerequisites (other than mentioned in the tutorials) that need to be taken care of.
During the learning process, I have already rooted the phone using Super One Click, v 1.7.
Please help.

This is the tutorial for how to install any ROM on our phone.
If you have already rooted your phone, flashing cm is not very complicated.
just follow simple steps
1.download the cm7 odin package
2. download odin package for i5800 with ops file
3. open odin ..choose ops file
4. click 'one package' option
5. select cm7 tar package.
6. start phone in download mode pressing power, home and vol down together.
7. connect usb cable ...odin will show yellow color in one port
8. start upload and wait until reboot
9. wipe data factory setting while still connected with usb and pc
10. wait until odin says 'pass' with yellow turning blue.
11. disconnect usb and use cm7.

It's not a must but if anything does go to then it comes in handy because you can just restore the backup.
To get Cwm you can root your phone using superoneclick the flashing g3mod 2.5 kernel.

I'm preparing myself to do CM7 flashing. I've already done single-click rooting using superoneclick, but my friend advised me not to use single click rooting which he says is bit unsafe. Instead he said that I should unroot the system and root it via the terminal method. Is my friend correct?
just flash a custom Rom and there is no need to mess about rooting your phone.

Hi everyone,
I'm a newbie here, but I've read the guidelines, don't hate
I got an international version SGS4 (i9505) and it got instantly rooted the day I purchased it.
The first rom I flashed was a i9505 Google Edition Rom... Everything worked fine but I didn't like it so much.
So I cleaned everything and I installed Foxhound (2.0)... and the problems started: maybe it's just because the two ROMs use different kernels, but my device started reboot randomly!
So I flashed a kernel cleaner (the Kernel Cleaning_Script by jivy26), I cleaned the cache and all the data... Then I installed the latest stable version of CyanogenMod (with Android 4.2.2)
Nothing.
My SGS4 continously reboots and sometimes it's difficult to restart it. I'm so sad, I just bought this phone and it works so bad.
Maybe I should install a Stock Rom and unroot my device?
Any advices/cleaning methods to stop these random crashes?
Please respond
Dem
I would flash full stock via odin and use it for few days.

Try a factory wipe first, if the reboots keep happening, I would do a fresh, clean flash of the stock tar. What I usually do is I format data through TWRP, it will say I lost root and if I want to retain it, I answer no. I reboot into download mode and flash stock tar through Odin. Then I root with CF-Auto-Root, and finally flash a custom recovery.

Thank you so much... then I decided to install an Official test leaked firmware 4.3 (I9505XXUEMJ3) via Odin.
Everything works fine, but (although the system's more responsive and stable) I had another random reboot God why?
Maybe it's just a problem with kernel... I installed 3-4 Roms, and maybe my phone is not clean... but I flashed via Odin, I erased everything (cache, format/data/factory). It's so strange...
I feel like I have to throw away my phone... please help!
EDIT: my phone crashed and it is bootlooping now.
My phone is now officially bricked. After I flashed the latest official Samsung Rom my phone started bootlooping and crashing at the Samsung logo. The only thing I can do now is to use the recovery, but even if I format/data factory nothing changed.
Any possible solutions?
My patience is collapsing with this phone T_T
So let me get this straight...you had an instability issue (reboots) and after all the help from the guys here suggesting to flash a stable stock rom, you decided to go ahead and flash a leaked firmware?
Find the latest OFFICIAL STOCK 4.2.2 rom and try again. Don't even root, just check with a stable rom so you can see if your issue is hardware related.
Try downloading and flashing one of the sammobile firmwares.

Why on earth are trying something you don't know about. If you don't follow the guides here on xda it will not work. You have to install custom Recovery's in order to clean and erase your whole phone. If you don't it will keep on DIRTY FLASHING and acting up or rebooting or what ever. Stock recovery is basically useless for what Your trying to do.
Edit: the link you posted is the way you should have done it in the first place

I must admit I failed so bad :\ Should I re-root to install a custom recovery? And then? How do I clean my phone? T_T I had a custom recovery, but I just format all datas/factory and cache. Is there anything else I can do with a custom recovery (considering that I don't have backups on my phone).
Please be kind, I said I'm new here I wait for your answers to continue
Which stock 4.2.2 rom did you try?
When you installed 4.3 stock rom, you probably also installed the new knox bootloader, so in order to go back to 4.2.2 you must install a stock rom like XXUDMH8 or XXUDMI1 that have the new bootloader.
Download one of them from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9505&pcode=0

Thank you so much I'm here to learn. So:
1) I should install a stock rom (such as XXUDMH8 or XXUDMI1) with the new bootloader
2) Then I should root using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2413014
3) Then I should install a custom recovery and... ?
Tell me if the steps are correct or I'm failing again lol
EDIT: I realized that I installed XXUDMH8! So it's ok, it have the new bootloader. What can I do now? :/ (I did everything in the thread you linked, I got android 4.2.2. stock - XXUDMH8... but I don't know how to continue to stop the crashes)
Yeah that's basically it. After you have custom Recovery installed do a complete wipe of everything twice just to make sure. Then go ahead and install stock with Odin and your random boots should be gone.

Thank you so much I'm here to learn. So:
1) I should install a stock rom (such as XXUDMH8 or XXUDMI1) with the new bootloader
2) Then I should root using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2413014
3) Then I should install a custom recovery and... ?

Keep in mind that with so many flashes, if you already have the new bootloader, you may have triggered the Knox efuse and voided your warranty.
You can check that in download mode, if knox warranty is 0x0 you are fine. If it is 0x1 you have triggered it.
You can look for more info in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447832
If knox warranty is 0x0 DONT ROOT YET...READ FIRST. There are ways to root without voiding your warranty.

Warranty 0x0 for now. To be sincere I don't know what to do atm... I'm scared as hell of doing anything D:
if I can't root now, I can't install a custom recovery and clean my phone. I'm a little bit confused...
Guide me and I promise I won't do stupid things this time .-.
How to root without voiding the phone warranty?
Try to install with this kernel "GT-I9505_AdamKernel.V1.6.KnoxFree2.CWM". You may search it in this xda forum.
Hopefully this will helping you.

Yes, you can... It is a good guide if you can follow it.. You must make sure that you have the latest bootloader and compatible TWRP.. Those are very important so you are not brick your device... Good luck and ask all the questions that you have before trying to install the TWRP and bootloader...:fingers-crossed:

ok so i'm having a bit of trouble following this guide...
1) I installed TWRP (with the help of this page) http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/105 I had to use the Download - Recovery Image / Fastboot Method because the app method wouldn't download the blob file
2) Now, when I power + volume down boot I can see my bootloader isn't the correct version. how can I update the bootloader? I have the files from the original link i posted (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2481892) so there is the correct bootloader i just don't know how to install it.
is there a more detailed guide with actual step by steps?
Congrats on getting TWRP installed! The rest is easy.
In TWRP select 'Install' and navigate to wherever you have the zip file with the bootloader/TWRP package, select it (if it has xxx signed.zip in the file name you need to check the "verify zip signature" option. sbdags usually signs his zips - don't know if he did with this one).
Swipe the button to flash the file.
When it finished, boot back to system. Do not flash a rom at this point! That would cancel the bootloader flash. Boot back into system first, then back into TWRP and then flash the rom.
BTW - flashing the modified Asus stock rom is perfectly fine, but I wonder why you don't flash CROMi-X 5.2.2?
That rom is from the same developer, based on this stock rom and miles improved since sbdags debloated the stock version.
sbdags stock rom is not really supported whereas he puts out a better version of CROMi-X about every 10 days! It's exhausting to keep up! LOL
You'll find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2425383
You can still flash the BL/TWRP package you downloaded already. It's the same as the one for CROMi-X.

Thanks, Honestly whatever custom rom I have now can randomly reboot and i think is giving me touch screen issues so was just going to hit up a stock install and see if that fixes any problems.
gonna try out the rom you suggested and i can always go back if necessary.
one thing, when i installed theTWRP the blue bar filled up completely and i left it for about 10 minutes and it was still there. so i powered down and everything booted back up correctly (and i can get into the recovery mode).
does everything sound ok to proceed?

You have to kick it out when it is completed by using the fastboot command or just using your power button.. So you are good to go...
You have to try out all the rom and kernels that are available then choose the best one that fit your need...Good luck...

Hey,
Since I saw how Stock Android looks for the first time, I wanted to get my Tablet's UI (Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 32GB WiFi) to look as nice as the stock Android one. I have already installed the Google Experience Launcher and it's in my opinion just so much better than the Samsung TouchWiz one. But I'd like to go one step further: installing a Stock Android or Custom ROM. Sadly, I don't have any experience with custom ROMs nor with the custom recovery stuff.
From what I heard, a custom ROM would have more features and would be more customizable than the stock Android, so I would prefer a custom ROM - but which? I don't have any experience with any of them and I don't really know much about the risks as the galaxy tab isn't a device that is officially supported by any of the custom roms. I would like to know what you would recommend to me.

If you look in the development section for your tablet, there are lots of KitKat Roms available. If you want close to stock with not too many additional features, I recommend SlimKat. If you want something with more features and customization, but still has the stock android look and feel, I would go for CyanogenMod11 or OmniRom.

I don't care that much about getting a pure stock Android experience than just about getting rid of TouchWiz. I have looked through the Roms available and from what I read and saw, I liked OmniRom and CM the most. Could you please tell me, what the differences between these are?

I have a 7 inch, not 10 inch but the features should be the same. I am currently running Omni Homemade Unofficial (it has multi window.) CM has its theming engine and omni does not. Omni has multi window, OmniSwitch and other stuff I can't remember off the top of my head. Both have heads up I believe. The features should be listed in the ROM thread. I'd tell ya now, but it's kinda hard to on my phone.

So, just to be sure that I'm going to do everything the right way:
1. Download TWRP from here and flash it to the recorvery
2. Download CyanogenMod from here and flash it using TWRP
Did I get it all right? And I've got some more questions: Where can I get the right version of Odin? Do I have to flash a firmware?

I haven't used odin in a while, but there us a download of Odin at samfirmware.com. Just search for your tab and click any firmware for it. Don't download the firmware, but in the instructions for how to flash there is an Odin download. Download TWRP 2.6.3.3 from the link and flash it in Odin as PDA. That one and 2.7.*.* supports KK, but if you will be using adb in windows while in recovery, you will need 2.6.3.3. Before flashing CM, go into backup and chech every backup option and click start. This may take awhile. Then (assuming you already have CM and Gapps on your tab) go into wipe > advanced wipe and check system, data, cache, and dalvik cache. Now you can flash your ROM and gapps. After that flashes click wipe cache and dalvik and reboot.

Not cm and gapps installed. Cm and Gapps zip file on your tab to flash. And in case something goes wrong in recovery (wiped internal SD) adb can save you there. There is nothing wrong with twrp 2.6.3.3.

Looks like you have stock recovery going. Try to reroot your system, odin in your TWRP 2.7.1 .tar file and then try again with your .zips. I always put files on external sd and flash from there just in case something is funky internally

Prerequisites: Tablet running stock JB or higher
SuperSU zip file on tablet (this will root your tablet. Download from http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu )
Odin 1.87 on computer (the title will say GT-N7000 but this doesn't matter. Download from http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1068597&d=1337343150 and extract to an Odin folder)
Drivers on computer
In Windows you will need to use Odin 1.87. Make sure you run the Odin exe as admin. Use that to flash the TWRP or PhilZ tar.md5 file. @Android-Andi has a recovery thread in the dev section. Download the file from there. Use the PDA option in Odin to flash it. Make sure that the only box checked is PDA. Do not check any other boxes. When it says PASS, flashing is finished. Wait 10 seconds and unplug your tablet. Boot into recovery by holding in power and volume up (volume up on the 10 inch is the volume button farthest from power and is frequently confused for volume down since they are reversed) and flash the SuperSU zip file. You are now rooted. If this doesn't work or Odin doesn't recognize tour tablet, I can give you Linux instructions.
