Hi all,
I have a Galaxy 7.7 (P-6810) and was wondering if it is possible to install a working version of Jelly Bean?
I use the device mainly for travelling and really enjoy the battery life and screen quality but am not too happy with the OS when compared to my friend’s tablets with Jelly Bean installed … I have been waiting, in hope that Samsung would release an official update (following the 6800), but it would appear this is never going to happen
This is my only Android device, I am used to IOS, Jailbreaking etc but have no experience of rooting, installing custom ROMs and have no idea where to start.
If someone could give information or provide clear instructions on how to do this safely, so as not to brick the device, it would be much appreciated!
Many thanks in advance.

Here are some links to study that will assist you in performing the tasks.
For basic background this link gives you some concepts and other useful information it is a little old but I think the concepts are valid. [GUIDE | READ ME | DISCONTINUED-28/06/12 ] A Newbie Guide for your Galaxy Tab 7.7 ▓░░ [ 1 2 ]
I think you said you had a P6810 here is a link to root and install CWM. Again this guide may not show the latest versions but gets you started on the process. [ROM&GUIDE] Official Firmwares SGT 7.7 P6800 + P6810 Download Here is another thread that might be helpful: [FAQ] Common Issues and Solutions for SGT7.7, now with JB (12 May 2013+)
For example the latest CWM is 6.0.3.0.
This is a start by following the instructions and cautions you should be ok. As discussed before the dainel_hk ROMs are what I use and I've been very happy with his efforts. Happy flashing. Lots of research (part of the fun in having this device) and paying attention to what you are doing should keep you from bricking your device. Again good luck and have fun. Your other option would be to find someone close to you and get tem to help you through the steps.:fingers-crossed:
Hello.I opened this thread to say how you found this awesome forum.First me
My first phone was an Samsung Galaxy Y S5360.I bought it and started to touch it.Was my first phone with android and his 3 inch screen was so big for me (until i held in hand other phones ).After 1-2 weeks i was asking myself if i can customize it more.I spent hours,days searching themes.I searched themes and i found symbian themes for nokia lol.Until i found a theme on an forum named xda.I was so happy at that time because finally i found a theme.Then i saw that there is a subforum named development.I was surprised to see so many things.Next days i rooted it and so on.After some time i learnt the basics.
I don't know if you believe me,but i never readed xda rules
This is my story,how i found xda forum.
Let me know your story
This is my story :
After using stock un-rooted gingerbread on my I9070P i got bored. So i was trying to root it but all I9070P rooted firmawe links were down so i have dowloaded and installed via odind rooted firmaware for I9070. Phone booted , everything was working fine. Than suddenly phone started re-booting. So (i'm taking loong short cut here) i flashed official JB 4.1.2 XXLPE. Than CoCore than Nexus theme and my first Costom Rom CyanogenMod 10.1. After flashing CM i lost EFS and by flashing 3-file gingerbread i have recovered my phone. (Another short cut here) I have re-flashed CM 10.1 (it was almost final CM 10.1 build) and i got excited obout Costom roms.
This is my story.
Edit :
I havent read XDA rules too ?
Wysłane z mojego nexusowego tablecika.....
i never used my as default i used to hack and flash custom firmwares on my nokia 5230 few years back, then i decided to switch to an android and bought s advance. I was aware about xda earlier and went straight on searching for i9070 section, and found terminology of android is different than symbian and after a little research i found the root by Shàan and flashed cocore kernel and phone just felt way better
after that when cm came i flashed that and xda is just a great platform for skilled and beginning devlopers as well as end users who always want to make the most of their devices and customize it very often.
I found XDA when I started with my Omnia I8000 windows 6.5 phone back in 2010. Was a great help but my first forum to join was Modeco. I stayed with XDA after I bought my first android phone, Galaxy Ace. Was great fun working with the themers and modders there. Have been with this forum from the start when we shared things with the Galaxy S. Have enjoyed the time here learning all sorts of things. What kept me here? Modaco failed in developing things for S Advance while XDA for the Advance has developed into a great place! Not sure I want to get a new phone for a while though so here I am and still enjoying it.
I bought this phone in February 2013, used stock ROM (GB later JB) for about 8 months and was not happy with my phone, it was lagging etc. etc. etc.
So then I made an account on a Dutch android site and asked if anyone knew how I could get my device run properly.. Someone said something about CyanogenMod and I've seen that blue man a few times and wondered what is was but never searched it.
Then I came to this forum and encountered the thread From stock GB to custom JB (noob friendly). I started flashing CM 10.1 but I got bootloops the first times I tried, but on some point it finally booted and I was happy as hell, and since then I made a XDA account and started playing with my phone Now I'm trying to get the max outta this originally ****ty phone before buying another one.
My story.
My brother give it to me his Motorola Defy two years ago, and toll me about a forum in spain called HTCmania (and in this moment he buy the S advance), In HTCmania were spanish roms and links to a forum called XDA with the rom CM10, so in a summer i learn how to flash roms, in march of 2013 i get a Ace 2 from my mum with GB and rooted i upgrade to JB with Kyrillos V7b + MC8 kernel, i use that untill june when i upgrade to Kyrillos V8 + MC8 kernel, i was with that, i put CM10.2 i february, in march (this is a big month for me) i build my first custom rom for S advance (my brother give it to me because he buy an Iphone 5S) and in last days of march i change my Ace to S advance with carbon and AOSP, and with that to now, i build some roms for Ace 2, i´m not going to change my phone at least it have 3 years (may of next year)
I never read XDA rules, never use the search (well, i use it once)
So i´m in this world for about 2 years and two months.
I found XDA when I learned that I could update my Galaxy mini to Gingerbread (from Froyo), and yet I couldn't do it via "Check for updates" on Settings. So I searched for a solution and I found it on the Galaxy mini subforum here on XDA.
Then I just started reading, learning and blah until I compiled CyanogenMod 9.1 for my Galaxy mini, and then hacked a little while providing both ParanoidAndroid (Jellybean 4.1) and AOSP.
AOSP (Android 4.0.4 - ICS) turned out to be a great success for the Galaxy mini, one of the most used ROMs as of today I believe.
And then I bought the S Advance and did what I know of Paranoid Android, the difference was that at that time, there was already a port of ParanoidAndroid in the works (by Shaaan), so, I looked for an alternative, and I built P.A.C, the "first" Android 4.2 ROM that didn't have the problems of the others, OMX's and audio stuff, not because I am good at coding, but because I had luck, a lot.
I knew XDA on 2012, when my brother bought a LG P720 Optimus 3D. I've always developed, but for Symbian OS (with QT) and iOS. Always modified phones (developed my own ROMs for Nokia 5230, Nokia E7 and Samsung GT-I8910 Omnia HD), reflashed etc. Was the first time that I modified an Android phone, I changed recovery and ROM
A lot of other times I returned here to modify my girlfriend's Galaxy Ace.
On 24 July 2013 I bought my first Android smartphone, janice. Came with 4.1.2 LQG started to modify it since 2nd day with root and CoCore, deodexed, then started to decompile, modify and recompile system apps plus install V6 Supercharger script. The 5th day I bricked for the first time, then unbricked (by reflashing stock through Odin) and reinstalled everything (including mods )
On 30 September I registered an account here (under the nick Tesla-MADAL93) since I was trying to compile ChameleonOS 4.2, and I was stuck on an error about libhardware_legacy (vibrator). I opened this thread to ask for help, and later I decided to contact @diego-ch that kindly helped me to solve, what a fkin' n00b I was :laugh: I had another error about WiFi, solved with the message by @frapeti in that thread
I made the thread for ChameleonOS, but still having problems (Camera not working, videos not working) and a day @judas1977 told me about OMX patches, so a better working build came. To say "thanks" to him, I decided to teach him on EMMC repartition and he opened the thread for codina.
Later I made ChameleonOS 4.3 for janice (test build) without any patch and @iiD4x was kinda rude with me @dagger supported me from the beginning, thanks friend. On January we became internet friends
A morning he asked me if he could add a friend on our Hangout, I answered yes and he added @Force and @Bx16 ... We became a lot of guys, including @Flo0008 @wmfaiz @rol525 @vickyushu @Sachinist, I decided to teach them about Android development and compile from sources. Later we decided to invite @Rox in that Hangout
@Rox, me, @iiD4x and @teddytsen were in TeamNova to join all our individual ROMs and dominate S Advance section against someone... Try to guess who he is NF
So BeanStalk 4.4, LiquidSmooth 4.3, LiquidSmooth 4.4, Mahdi 4.4, MoKee 4.3, MoKee 4.4, PAC-Man 4.4, ParanoidAndroid 3.99 became one.
A day of February (2014) @Rox asked me if I wanted to join Team Canjica (a dream for me!!) as OmniROM developer and maintainer, obviously and faster than a rocket I answered "YES"
Time has passed, I sold my janice on the end of April and from July I own a Galaxy S4 GT-I9505.
I'm still here, friends
EDIT: Oh, I forgot.... Always use MaxiCM, the best ROM ever. True "BlaBlaBla" Hangout's guys??

Previously i was just Nokia user fan only finally after marriage i handed over my c6 01 to my wife as a gift and bought this pice of crap having gingerbread as os in 23k when released just because of Android hype in that period without knowing what is Android because my previous c6 01 is so small and symbian is too bad that i surfed net very few times
At play store i found som root app saying about root privileges then searched for rooting over net and found its drawback like bricking so thought never want to take this risk
Then sammy finally relesed jb i was so happy but it was so laggy
But curiosity about rooting take me to xda s advance forum while surfing every day got Shaan root method rooted my phone
My first mod after rooting is beats audio from play store
Then jorny of custom roms started
Flashed ikasters cynilla
Used it for long time waited for daily cm 10.1 by diego ch
After that evolution was happened and we got 10.2 /11 Great developers
In that journey i myself tried to be developer by porting rom but then i thought its require lot patience, lot of internet to download large data, lot of technical knowledge with risk of bricking so leaved that thought
Now i am happy with LS KK but still searching for new development everyday till my phone will get silent its last day and i will bought new goodie to play again the
Game of Android
I create my account yesterday :')

Welcome in our subforum!!

I did not tell my XDA story.
I created my account before I bought Android phone, I had some Symbian before. I was pretty quiet until I started helping Varun with testing of JetMod. Then I started with helping people to solve some problems with installations of it. But I never did any major development stuff. I think that I can call myself lazy or something like that, I know a lot of things for about 50%-70% (not just about Android - web development, film making, video editing, design, system administration, (I even painted my future apartment by myself, almost perfect ) etc, etc) , and I get stuck. :laugh: Bang, loss of motivation and inspiration. So I did not advance in Android development, I left on helping users with some basic to medium problems.
Hey guys how are you all? Its been a long time since the hangout grup became dead :/
Hi everyone, long time viewer first time caller, just created an account today, is it okay to revive this dead thread?
I started lurking on xda at the same moment I got my Janice, my first Android. When it started going on my nerves with Jelly Bean I got into flashing, kept it kicking for almost 3 years. Amazing work on this forum, people keeping this device alive despite it being so awful. Never got into development myself, but I learned a lot about how Android works, and chose my next phone a lot more carefully. Now I got a Moto G which hopefully I won't have to root and reflash just to have a normal, functioning device, but if the need ever arises I now know how to do it
Mine one is a simple story. I wanted to use all the features of Lucky Patcher. When I saw that I was limited by root access. I didn't understand what root was. So I searched the net. There I learnt what was root - its advantages and drawbacks, and much more. Then I searched how I could root my J500F. There came websites but none had so clear instructions as in XDA. I flashed the file. Root worked nicely for some days. And it was when I got stuck in FRP lock. XDA was my first source where I searched for help. I got a quick line which quoted that I needed to flash my stock image through ODIN. I did.
Fortunately, no data was touched. My phone was restored to normal but my root was lost. I again flashed the file and took necessary precautions to prevent FRP Lock. I learnt more about Android, kernels, SU, custom recovery, ROM, mods and tweaks with root in the subsequent days. Finally, some more months later, I signed up in XDA and here I am now.
