[Q] Galaxy tab gt-p1000; nightlymod 10.1 - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
trying to upgrade my p1000 from Froyo 2.2 to Nightlymod 10.1, and I have read numerous threads about this problem, tried 3 methods (Odin, Rom manager, bootloader) to flash the device... Rooted it with Superoneclick 2.3.3, shoved SGT-Bootloader-Patch-v1.00 to patch Bootloader... all the work I found necessary. Still, there are only 4 options in my boot: reboot system now, apply sdcard: update.zip, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition. No Nandroid or backup option. Update doesn't work: E:signature verification failed.
Trying to flash via Rom manager- flash file is visible but the same error appears if I try to read it.
My sd is 32 GB class 10 (Samsung as well, brand new), and my version is P1000XXJMA.
Where did I go wrong with my homework?
tx for any sort of advice

[Q] Need help with installing Hypersense Nova ROM

This is my very first attempt at installing a ROM.
I've managed to figure out how to install the correct USB driver for my GRK39F 2.3.6 Nexus One, unlock my bootloader, flash a new radio, root my phone, and... installed clockworkmod recovery and backed up my ROM. It was hell trying to figure all this out. I didn't even know what GSM and CDMA meant in the cell phone world a couple of weeks ago. I'm now stuck though. I would like to install Hypersense Nova http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604957. I have the radio and hboot required in that thread. I've confirmed root access with a root checker. I'm now working on the partition layout and trying to find a blackrose thread to help with that, which i'm confident I can find and execute.
Here's the part I don't understand:
3) WIPED ext4 partition (for APP2SD), I suggest 1gb ext4!
4) Recovery: I suggest you to use 4EXT Recovery Classic!
5) IMPORTANT: WIPE ALL (DATA, SYSTEM, BOOT, CACHE, DALVIK-CACHE, SD-EXT) 3 TIMES!
I assume 3,4, and 5 need to be done after I change the partition layout, but I don't understand how to 'wipe ext4 partition' or what that means, I don't understand what needs to be done with recovery other than what I've done with clockworkmod already, which was back up my ROM, and I don't understand how to wipe all, data, system, boot, etc.. After all that is done I assume actually installing the Hypersense Rom is the same as any other ROM? Putting it on my SD card root and using something like clockworkmod to flash the new ROM? I'm exhausted from staying up late nights figuring things out so I am finally breaking down to ask for help. Took me two days of trial and error just to figure out that I needed to install the google USB driver not only once while my phone was running the OS, but then having to install it a second time while the phone was in bootloader mode, to get around the <waiting for device> message from hell. Thanks for any help!
Ok i've gotten as far as installing the nova zip from clockworkmod recovery after i formatted and wiped everything. partitioned with hboot 220-10-206, set sd-ext to 1gb and 0 swap. but here is where i'm stuck at..
>>> formatting system...
>>> mounting data...
>>> checking /data/app...
>>> extracting files...
>>> mounting SD-ext...
It has been hanging at mounting sd-ext for about 20 minutes now. there is a progress bar at the bottom that is still completely grey.

Help installing custom rom

I rooted my galaxy note 10.1 using a method that I believe installs the factory rom with root injected using this method: http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-10-1-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-10-1/
I put the Baked rom onto my external sd card from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2120761
and when I boot into recovery mode and select the rom zip file to install from my sd card, it fails at the following "E:failed to verify whole-file signature /n E: signature verification failed"
Do I need to reroot with clock work mod recovery? (Link to the latest version?) Do I need to reinstall the stock image (without root) first before doing that? Do I need to wipe data/factory reset and/or clear my cache partition as well?
I'm just trying to install a custom rom and am thinking I want something new and I found baked, should I go with it? What are my other options for the latest android roms or just good roms in general? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You have failed to root with CWM recovery .
Use a root method from XDA not some external site .
All the roms are in the development sections there is no best you decide .

So should I reinstall the stock image from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2016792
The install cwm from here and then do the same thing as before (i.e. copy rom zip to external sd card and install in clockwork)?
Do I need to clear cache partition or anything else?
Thanks!
Just flash a CWM root and recovery from development section .

[Q] Help! Can't restore galaxy s3 to factory rom

I have a galaxy S3 phone (AT&T i747) and I've rooted it. Also I've backed up the factory rom using clockworkmod and get several files in one folder named "1970-04-15.10.19.58", and then I install "rom manager" and tried several different roms. Then I want the factory rom back, but when I went into the clockworkmod recovery mode, I can't find the backup! I tried to back up the phone again to see if they are stored in the same place, but very weirdly, I couldn't find the back-up folder anywhere while I still can see the back up folder when I want to restore in clockworkmod recovery mode. I do remember the version of clockworkmod changes (probably) because of the rom manager (which asks to flash a recovery before install roms), and I wonder if it's the difference in version that cause this problem.
Could anyone tell me why this happens and how I can get the back-uped version in the clockworkmod recovery mode? Thank you very much!
question update
It seems the clockworkmod messes up the folders. Now I get a folder with name 0, and other folders with "legacy" and "obb", does anybody how to fix the folder problem in clockworkmod? Thank you!

Summary
Rooting is easy, installing ROM is easy, as long as you do according to the online articles, but keep everything correct is not!
Flash original factory firmware using Odin is very powerful. (It even works when phone can't boot)
I first use Odin to root my galaxy s3, then backup the rom, and then use rom manager to install different roms, however those roms aren't as good as in introduction. And worsemore, when I want to switch back using restore, the restore function goes wrong.
I then did a lot of stupid things, try the functions on recovery and try to move the backup to "right" places, the result is I totally messed up the phone and it can't boot.
Luckily I still can go to the download mode by pressing "volumn down"+"home"+"power" -> "volumn up". I use Android 4.1.1 AT&T Samsung i747 firmware and Odin v3 3.07 to get everything back to normal. (thank goodness I back up the data before I play this game).
All in all, new version Odin + original factory firmware is powerful! :good:

[Q] Can't install custom room on Galaxy Express 2

Hello
I received a Galaxy Express 2 SM-G3815 as a gift today.
The phone is new and I want to install a custom rom, this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2771661
I root-ed the phone, put the rom and the ClockWorkMod 6.0.4.8 on the sd card and tried a few times to install it.
When i boot into recovery mode, I only have
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
I wipe data/factory reset but there is no /format system to do as required in "how to install" steps
When I try to install from external storage, I get an error, failed to verify whole-file signature but it says install complete and the phone restarts. But when it restarts, the stock rom is installing apps.
Please help.
