Hello,
I'm back in home after 2 months trip in India & Nepal
My TF is still alive and I had it at Thorung La (5416m)
My tab is rooted and also CWM recovery is installed.
Before trip I frozen DMClient app, in order to omit upgrade notifications,
of course I can unfroze it now.
Two questions:
It is good idea to upgrade to ICS ? During my trip i red few posts about problems with ICS i.e. battery draining problem. My tab works perfectly now with 8.6.5.21
I know, I have to back to oryginal recovery before update, it can be done, flashing zip file from CWM, but I can't find zip file with oryginal recovery, full bersion name is HTK75.WW_epad-8.6.5.21-20111216
thanks.
Why not just flash a rooted ICS ROM? That way you don't have to install stock recovery just to do an update.
I dont realize that is possible I'll try to find thread about this at evening. What about my first question, upgrade or not? Did Asus fix any issues? Maybe best idea is to wait some time?

Hi, I'm new to flashing ROM's and wanted to give this a try, but I had a few questions (I searched and read the wiki, but I didn't see these specific questions):
I have the Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket on ATT. I'm rooted on Stock GB 2.3.6
1. I wanted to try flashing this ROM([ROM][CyanogenMod 9 (unofficial)][TeamChopsticks][Alpha 1 - 4/26]), Can I come from gingerbread if I follow the instructions in post 1? Or do I need to have an ICS leak installed first?
2. I assume I can revert back to my rooted-stock ROM by using CWM with my current restore point?
3. If I restore the backup from step-2, does it restore the original radio (the UCLA3 radio)? Or am I stuck with the new one? Any disadvantes to just leaving the new one installed?
4. When flashing the new radio, is it just like flashing a ROM in CWM?
5. How would I get all my apps back on the custom ROM? (I know the contacts are linked to the google cloud) I have titanium backup pro installed now, but I read something about not restoring the apps across different ROMs?
6. If I decide to go back to my stock ROM after looking at a few custom ROMs, would I be able to get the ATT OTA updates? (I know I'd need to un-root and un-freeze all the bloatware, but I assume installing the custom ROM's would trigger the flash counter?)
7. I keep hearing about the "yellow triangle" when the flash counter is triggered. Does it only happen at boot and go away after that? Or is it always there?
Thanks in advance!

1) if you're a newb I wouldn't recommend flashing alpha versions of anything
2)You can revert back
3)No, flash a ginger radio before restoring
4)Yes, wipe cache/dalvik cache
5)You can restore apps accross the same OS, but I never do
6)Yes, if you're on official software. It wont trigger unless you flash with odin or sometimes a custom kernel like cm will trigger it. No big deal, we have a counter reset.
7)only at boot, we have counter reset, so no worries
Wow, that was a quick reply! Thanks.
Sorry if I'm dense, I just wanted to clarify two things before proceeding.
Re 1: I also saw another ROM I wanted to try, I guess I'll do that one ([ROM]SKY ICS--- 4.2D-9). Thanks for the heads up.
Re 3: From your response, am I correct to understand I can't use an ICS radio with GB? (it just wont work? or there's no advantage to keeping it?)
Re 5: Same OS meaning inside GB based ROMs or ICS based ROMs? If I go from stock GB to custom ICS, I need to re-download each app individually?

1) very good choice, I run it and it is outstanding.
3)they will have a RIL mismatch. You can use them by deleting the system folder out of it, but I would just use the la3 radio and flash that before the rom. After a full wipe, of course.
5)Right, it ensures everything will be clean and run right.
Hi all,
I'm stuck. So first i wanted to root my GT-I9100G. I'm newbie in things such as "rooting", "oc'ing" an android device.. Ok so I've been changed only kernel from stock to lucifr 1.6uv. I did it with Odin, then i installed SU_busybox with CWM and yea.. Now i have a "yellow triangle" when i boot up my phone he he.. I did not changed the ROM. But then i concluded that my phone became very unstable and now i want to PERMANENTLY remove superuser, cwm and all the stuff witch came with custom kernel. I want to get back my device stock and clear again but i don't know how to... And yeah, when i connect my phone to kies, it shows i have available a new update from XXLA1 (witch i have right now) to XXLB1 and when i press update it does not do anything. Wata f? Maybe the problem is because i don't have a stock kernel? Help me please.
Im newbie here. Thanks.
I am getting my Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Wi-fi today. I would really like to install a custom ROM, but I am hesitant without the stock ROM to ODIN. I have bricked my Fascinate several times, and I would have been stuck without the stock ROM. However, it's more complicated because the ROM's I use for the Fascinate use an MTD filesystem. Is there a situation where I would be bricked without a way to restore to stock on the gtab, or does that sort of thing not happen? Anyway, is there a stock ROM available and will you link me?
not yet
from what i've read, there isn't a p5113 stock rom yet but time will give us one i am sure. in the meantime, the best we can do is make a backup in CWM before rooting and that would give you an unaltered stock ROM backup to restore from.
Hello,
I am looking to return my Tab 2 10.1 to stock/factory build.
I am a little confused as there seem to be all kinds of methods. I figured it would be as easy as running a .exe file like an ruu with a rooted phone but that is not the case?
I am happy losing custom recovery, root etc. I just want the standard 4.1 rom or whatever is the current stock rom for a UK 10.1 tablet.
Thanks.
